Images and testimonies collected by MP Francesco Emilio Borrelli (Greens and Left Alliance) document unbearable degradation just steps from the Federico II Polyclinic. The approximately twenty-meter stretch from the ANM parking lot to the hospital entrance on Via Pansini has been reduced to an open-air landfill. The area, which has become a shelter for the homeless, is overrun with waste and organic debris, with human excrement scattered along the walkway.
The complaint: "An emergency that offends dignity"
"It's unacceptable that patients, doctors, and citizens must endure such a massacre to access a hospital," MP Borrelli harshly criticized. "We're facing a sanitation emergency that offends the dignity of the city and its patients. Such a vital area cannot be transformed into an open-air latrine and an unsupervised makeshift shelter. It's a slap in the face of decency."
The request: extraordinary cleaning and social protection
The AVS representative announced the sending of an official memo to the municipal waste management company ASIA and the City of Naples, urging immediate action. "We need to act on two fronts," explains Borrelli.
"A radical cleanup and urgent sanitation of that area is needed. At the same time, it's essential to activate social services to offer dignified alternatives to the people who take refuge there. Naples can't present itself like this, especially in the presence of a health care facility."
The MP's appeal also includes a request for constant vigilance: "I ask for a presence to prevent the situation from recurring within hours, once resolved. The intervention must be effective and long-lasting." The incident highlights a degraded area adjacent to one of the most important healthcare facilities in Southern Italy, raising questions of public health and social emergency.
