Heartbreaking letter ‘thrown over migrant centre fence’ begs for help

A young migrant girl who threw a note over the fence of a detention centre has told journalists she and other residents are “sick” as she begged for help. The unidentified girl reportedly threw the note over a fence in Manston, Kent, the Border Force location at the centre of the latest migrant controversy that has plagued the Government for nearly a week. In her handwritten note, she pled with the outside world for assistance as residents feel “we’re in prison”.The girl’s heartbreaking letter, which she stuffed into a bottle before casting it over the centre’s fence, was picked up by a photographer working with the Press Association news agency.She reaches out to “everyone” and claims that up to 50 families have lived within the building’s walls for the last 30 days.The note adds that many of them are “very bad”, “not very well”, and have “difficult” lives.She claims that the food they receive makes them “feel sick”, adding that those who feel unwell or require attention receive only paracetamol.READ MORE: Braverman now plans to send Channel migrants to Paraguay Heartbreaking letter is ‘thrown over migrant centre fence’ begs for help and says ‘we’re sick’ (Image: PA) The young girl threw the message in a plastic bottle (Image: PA) The letter alleged the detention centre was like a “prison” (Image: PA)The Mansion detention centre should only hold detainees for a maximum of 24 hours for processing.The building also has a maximum occupancy rate of 1,600, but estimates suggest authorities are holding up 70 4,000, more than double the limit.Officials have extracted hundreds of people from the site, and reports suggested a group of 11 asylum seekers were left in London on Wednesday.Volunteers from homelessness charity Under One Sky told The Guardian they were “disturbed and completely disoriented”, while the British Transport Police confirmed they had sought accommodation for the group.DON’T MISSBank of England predicted to announce biggest interest rise in 33 years – ANALYSISKent council admit county is at ‘breaking point’ in ‘strongly worded’ Home Office letter – PICTURESBounty chocolates to be removed from Celebrations tubs ahead of Christmas – INSIGHT Suella Braverman has been accused of making missteps with the migrant crisis (Image: PA)The chaos has now led to legal action, immigration ministers have revealed.Robert Jenrick told Sky News that officials have launched a judicial review into the situation.He told The Take’s Sophy Ridge that the Home Office has received “initial contact” for the review.But, he added: “That’s not unusual, this is a highly litigious area of policy but of course, as the minister responsible, I want to make sure everything we do is conducted appropriately and within the law.”
