Kids sleeping on floor as family of 10 placed into 2-bedroom apartment
Eleven-year-old Fatima Al Assi dreams of the days when she was able to run around her house with her friends.
Friends she hasn’t been able to invite over for almost a month, since her family of 10 were forced to move into a two-bedroom apartment in Manukau, south Auckland.
“We used to have people coming over, but now we can't do anything. We can’t really run around or sleep properly,” Al Assi says.
