    The Wider Image: Migrants struggle to cope with Portugal’s ‘suffocating’

    Phones and chargers rest on a table at a gathering of friends at the improvised campsite in a field where Marcia Leandro, 43, and Andreia Costa, 50, live, ahead of their eviction from the campsite, in Carcavelos, in Cascais, Portugal, May 11, 2024. Portugal remains one of western Europe's poorest nations with the region's lowest average wages. The housing crisis is rooted in a chronic shortage of affordable housing, aggravated by the arrival of wealthy foreigners lured by residency rights linked for some years to property investment and tax breaks offered by the state.
