The Government has been unable to find any accommodation for more than 200 people seeking international protection,
heaping even more pressure on one of the country's busiest homeless shelters.

556 international protection applicants (IPA) have been left without shelter at one point or another since the closure of the Citywest Transit Hub on January 24.
