Red Cross provides specialized sleeping bags to homeless in Ghent

The Red Cross is distributing specialized sleeping bags to homeless individuals in Ghent to protect them from freezing temperatures. These "sheltersuits" are waterproof, can be worn as clothing, and offer protection down to -10 degrees Celsius, aiming to prevent deaths during the cold snap. The initiative, funded by the Red Cross's own resources, is a temporary measure to address immediate needs as temperatures drop below zero.
