Leonardo Martínez, in charge of the Salesian “Padre Chava” shelter, a center with 88 beds and a communal kitchen, said what is urgently needed is “a space to put thousands of people because more are going to continue to come.”“All the shelters are overwhelmed, so there are times when some people sleep outside in the open,” he said.This shelter curren...
