Answer

Are emergency shelters in Mallorca enough to protect homeless people in winter?

Emergency shelters are important, but they are not enough on their own if there are too few beds or if people cannot access them easily. In Mallorca, critics say the response also needs better coordination, clearer data on occupancy, and support for people with complex needs. Long-term prevention is still necessary to reduce the number of people on the street.
