Answer

Can a forced eviction in Mallorca make public health problems worse?

Yes, it can if people are moved on without proper support or sanitation checks. In Mallorca, an eviction may reduce the risk at one site, but it can also spread problems if people end up in other abandoned places or hidden locations. Public health works best when relocation, medical care and cleanup happen together.
