"20 year old Thania, from DR Congo, at London's Euston Station where she spent a year sleeping rough. She arrived in the UK in September 2004 claiming asylum after her family were murdered by Congolese soldiers. She was forced to watch her brother burned to death after a tyre was set alight around his neck. She was raped but managed to escape. After her claim was refused she walked the streets begging people for food and money, ""I couldn't think properly because I was so hungry."" Thania is one of an estimated 300,000 rejected asylum seekers living in the UK. ."
