Raid in Palma's Prison Ruins: Control Instead of a Solution – Who Helps the 500 People on Site?

Answer

How many people live in the former prison area in Palma?

Authorities and aid workers estimate that around 500 people stay on the site at times, although the number changes. The people there are not one single group: some are long-term homeless residents, while others arrived after struggling to find affordable housing in Mallorca. The figures are approximate because conditions on the ground are unstable.
