On the far side of railway tracks, on the outskirts of the city of Ozd, in northern Hungary, is what must be one of the most deprived villages in Europe.
Home to around 400 Roma or Gypsy people, corralled on the edge of town, is what is essentially a slum.
They live in buildings that once provided homes for workers from the nearby steelworks, but conditions are truly dreadful.
Many windows have no glass; tiles are missing from the roofs; some buildings have collapsed altogether.
Just a handful of communal toilets and taps serve the whole community. More...
Don't miss:
- The Roma and the neo-nazis in Hungary...
- Fear and loathing in Belfast as racism rears its ugly head...
- The Roma in Europe targets of rising racist attacks...
- It's dangerous being a foreigner in Russia these days...
- Italy has started fingerprinting the Roma gypsies: what's coming next?
