Argentina housing occupations and evictions continue
- 12 years ago
Squatters in Argentina are being turned out on to the streets as the country suffers from an acute housing shortage.
Forced evictions have ended in deadly violence in recent months - prompting the UN and Amnesty International to express concern over the treatment of squatters.
After violent clashes that left four people dead, local government expropriated 40 hectares of land but it has not solved the issue where around 3 million houses are needed to cover the deficit.
