Urgent action is being demanded as the homelessness situation at a number of popular Spanish holiday airports, including Mallorca and the Costa del Sol, reaches crisis point.
At Madrid airport, it's estimated that around 400 people are sleeping rough, with many going out to work in the day and returning each night to sleep.
And the shocking scenario is now being reflected elsewhere, both on the mainland and the holiday islands. Malaga and Palma in Mallorca are also dealing with the problem which is said to be causing not only humanitarian issues but safety and health fears too.
At Malaga airport, it has even been alleged that staff have been bitten by fleas and bed bugs but this has been denied by the authorities. Workers say they have seen the insects 'climbing up the walls' near the departure gates used by millions of Brits.
Airport employees speak of being bitten and having to apply insect repellent before going to work
