The asylum seekers were reportedly left at London’s Victoria station without accommodation after being taken out of the processing center in Manston.
The group of 11 men were flown to the capital from Kent on Tuesday as part of a larger group, according to the Guardian.
Volunteers from the homeless charity Under One Sky, who provided them with food and clothing, told the newspaper that many were in flip-flops and without winter coats.
“They were stressed, anxious and completely disoriented,” volunteer Danial Abbas said.
“Besides, they were very hungry.”
A spokesman for British Transport Police told the newspaper officers responded to reports of a group of asylum seekers seeking help at Victoria station at 10.33pm on Tuesday.
“Officers engaged and liaised with charity partners, rail staff and government colleagues to help them find accommodation for the evening,” he said.
