Asylum-seekers in the UK have spoken of the distress they are facing after being served notices that they will be deported to Rwanda under a controversial new scheme.
Several of them, including people from Egypt, Syria, and Sudan, have told the BBC they have been on hunger strike, and say they see deportation as worse than death.
The British government says the planned deportations – which cannot be appealed against – are an attempt to overhaul what it calls a broken asylum system.
It says it is taking every step to prevent self-harm or suicide at immigration removal centres.
