Streets Kitchen said they did not know who the man was. The group added: “We recognise there is a growing homelessness crisis in Camden, as elsewhere. How many more must die on the streets before Camden Council and Keir Starmer call an emergency response and urgently address this heartbreaking situation? It simply just cannot go on like this.”
