Tendopoli: Italy's farm-worker tent slums where migrants pick Europe's fruit

Tendopoli are tent slum settlements on the tip of Italy's "boot", where migrant seasonal workers live in extreme poverty picking fruit destined for European markets. Residents report going hungry, working for poverty wages, and enduring conditions so harsh they stop washing clothes and simply throw them away. The existence of these camps in the heart of Europe rarely features in mainstream public debate.
