Roma Gypsies living across Turkey and Greece. In Istanbul and Edirne many Roma recycle rubbish and scrap metal. Some sell flowers in the street or work as casual agricultural labourers in the fields. Families are sometimes living in slums facing eviction as gentrification of their areas pushes them away, others live in tents and travel where they find work. Around Istanbul many Turkish Roma live in tents on the city's outskirts, recycling scrap to make a living. Other communities lived inside the city, like in Kagithane, but this is an area facing gentrification. They were all evicted from this suburb and force to outside the city.
