Growing up on the tarmac for asylum seekers

Magali Girardin

Dozens of asylum seeking families live in shelters of the Grand-Saconnex commune, near the runway of the Cointrin airport. Daily life is synonymous with the noise of the planes, the smell of the fuel and the mould of the lodgings. The Swiss Human Rights League has been alerted, but the canton does not have enough proper lodgings. Geneva, February 2012.
