Mounds of clothing donated by Europeans for refugees on the Polish-Ukrainian border
  • 2 years ago
This footage shows huge mounds of clothing donated by well-meaning Europeans dumped and abandoned in a car park on the Polish-Ukrainian border.Volunteer Charlie Hannerton, 27, took photos of the piles of clothing and bedding in the border town of Medyka, near Przemysl in Poland.He claims the donations arrive by the truckload from all over Europe, but volunteers don't have time to sort through unlabelled and unsorted boxes.Labelled and sorted boxes with required items - like sanitary towels and nappies - are taken to a nearby warehouse and handed out to refugees, he said.But jumbled up boxes of assorted clothing are dumped in a nearby car park - because staff haven't got the time to sort through it, he said.
