Mauritius: Clean needles out of reach for injecting drug users
Every weekday afternoon, two outreach workers go to a derelict apartment block that used to house men working on the docks at nearby Tombeau Bay, on the outskirts of Mauritian capital, Port Louis.
Officially no-one has lived here for about 40 years and Tombeau Bay locals say the buildings, stripped down to bare skeletons, will soon be demolished.
But people are still living there, although these are not people the rest of the community are very fond of. Police constantly monitor what is happening at the "ex-docker's" flats; after all, this is where injecting drug users live, having lost their homes and families. This is also where illegal drugs are sold.
