Bulgarian citizens, including women and children, live in deplorable conditions at a tent camp in the Stornara suburb in the Italian province of Foggia.

The news was reported in an article of the Italian news agency Adnkronos, saying this is the third such camp the local police discovered in less than a month.

The 45 Bulgarians, according to the article, arrived a month ago and were accommodated in an illegal tent camp on land owned by local farmers, who use the Bulgarians as cheap migrant labor. The farmers have been long known to the local authorities for using illegal migrant workers, the author adds.

The camp is described as 27 tents, erected at the place of a former green house. The tents all have places for cooking and TV sets, but they lack toilets and drinking water.

The Bulgarians, who are picking tomatoes and grapes, live in deplorable conditions. They have dug a hole, covered with boards and sheets, to use as improvised toilet and get water from a nearby well, the article informs.
