This is the saddest thing.
Does anyone have any information on homeless people in Turkey? Even though I've travelled a lot I have never seen any in such poor shape. It's heartbreaking.

I've heard of this problem Azade. The problem of street children is an international one, not just a Turkish one. Actually the problem is Turkey seems to be much less than in other places. Still, it's alarming it is happening at all in Turkey.

Think of the neglected ones, who have no home in Haiti, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil and Africa, a world wide tragedy, esp. in third World countries. Read this: http://www.hrw.org/english/docs/2005/02/22/colomb10202.htm

I just got back from a cruise a few weeks ago and one of our ports was Labadee, Haiti. The ship line Royal Carribean owns a private penisula there. The time we spent there was so beautiful, then on my way back to catch the tender I was horrified. They have a metal fence, approx 14 feet or so that keeps the Haitians off their portion, which I do understand. However, when I saw the children standing there behind the fence looking so poverty stricken, holding out there hands, like they were in a cage it made me so upset.. I can't even describe the feeling that came over me.  Let's just say, I wanted to smuggle them all back with me to the U.S.

You obviously havent been in USA. Compared to their national wealth, they are in far worse shape.

But this can never be a reason to have your country in this way with these homeless people...
Such a wrong point of view!!

Well I have been in the USA and I have seen many homeless people before, because sadly there are people in that unfortunate situation in every country (I am yet to see an exception).
This video, however, seems really harsh and the kid really has nothing. I'm just saying it made a great impression on me. At least in many other places I have travelled homeless people still have some sort of (although obcviously very low) living standard, but this looks like something taken out of the poorest third world country.
Time is ripe for turkish politicians to do take steps towards generating more jobs. Something clearly needs to be done about this. Perhaps there are not many homeless people in Turkey, I don't know, but this guys conditions appear to be much more severe than those of the usual (perhaps by choice) homeless people begging on the street corner.
Which options are there for someone like this in Turkey?

I kind of agree with you Azade. There is usually a REASON for homelessness (other than poverty) - i.e. alcoholism, breakdown, abusive home lives ... even to escape the rat race! Being out of work is not a reason for homelessness in most developed countries, as the unemployed are given money and housing.
