Kosovo refugees in London

The majority of refugees that arrive in the Uk are offered provisional housing, vouchers to buy food and are not allowed to seek employment. This situation meant to be temporary often takes years to settle. Many kosovan families even after years do not know whether they have their right to stay permanently in the UK. Refugees see themselves as living in a limbo, unable to look for work and to move freely. Often the bond between their community is the only attachment that they form, partly because of their common plight and partly because of a need to ascertain their cultural identity.
