香港正遭受寒潮袭击，许多无家可归者宁愿忍受严寒，也不愿进入政府庇护所，因为他们觉得那里像监狱一样。南华早报周二晚间探访深水埗的铜锣湾街公园时，发现约70人分成七个小组在那里过夜。香港天文台警告气温将降至11摄氏度。
香港正处于寒潮之中，无家可归者们选择在街头忍受低温，而不是进入政府提供的庇护所，他们形容这些地方感觉“像被监禁”。
南华早报周二晚间访问了深水埗的5.5公顷铜锣湾街公园——街头睡者的热门地点——发现约70人分成约七个小组在那里过夜。大多数人住在帐篷或折叠床上，有些躲在花坛、柱子或临时屏风后面以求隐私。其中一位62岁的Henry Lai尽管气温下降，仍穿着短袖T恤和薄夹克。周二是中国历法上的“大寒”，被视为一年中最冷的时期。
香港天文台警告，受强烈冬季季风影响，城市地区气温将于周四逐渐降至低至11摄氏度（51.8华氏度），偏远北部地区甚至更低。周五最低气温预计维持在12度左右，随后几天将回升。
一些街头睡者在深水埗的公园勇敢面对风霜，其他人则在尖沙咀文化中心附近的地下通道寻求庇护。
