After looking at all the pictures, I do not think we should ask each other whether these people are deserving of help or not. It should not be a question. Living in the conditions they live in, they should receive the help they need whether they hold passports or not. From just looking at the pictures, one can easily conclude that the Roma Gypsies are suffering from psychosocial, as well as health issues. People live in small rooms under bridges. Any infectious disease can be easily transmitted and their quality of life is obviously diminished. The question should not be if they deserve question but who should help these people. I think it is everybody's responsibility to help those in need. Some people may think that the poor are not deserving of help because they might not be as productive to society than the rest of the population. In some cases this is true, but it is also true it is society's responsibility to take care of their poor and provide them with the tools they need to become productive members of society. Our society is not only responsible of providing the poor with health care but also education. Society's of the world have to take care of the poor because they play a role in society just like any other individual. The Roma Gypsies seem to be trying to make a living one way or another. The government insists in putting them in camps that do not provide a safe or healthy environment. I think they deserve services because they are human beings and they do not deserve to be left to suffer because they were not one of the lucky people to be born in a rich family. Our society does not provide poor individuals with the necessary skills to get themselves out of their poor conditions.
