She was born in the northeastern African country of Eritrea . When she was 13 years old, after her father was killed, she and her mother lived a life of running around with her.
The mother and daughter first lived in Sudan for a while, and then went to Lebanon,
But no matter where they go, safety and peace are luxury goods that they cannot reach.
After growing up, Delina's mother also passed away.
She is alone, traveling between countries just to find a stable life in her dream.
Last year, Delina came to France Calais ,
This is a coastal city in northern France, which is only about 38 kilometers away from the UK in a straight line.
Therefore, a large number of destinations for the UK stowaways gathered here, set up camps, and formed the "Calais jungle".

Delina is no exception. For 8 months, she has lived in an informal refugee camp in Calais,
But as a homeless young girl, every day is a battle for her to survive.
But no matter how careful she is, she was sexually assaulted in the camp, resulting in pregnancy.
In July this year, at the risk of his death,
Pregnant Delina traveled across the strait in a small boat and arrived in the UK to seek asylum.
After learning about her pregnancy, the British Interior Ministry officials specially organized a pregnancy checkup for Delina.
When she had vomiting and other pregnancy reactions in her first hotel, the staff specially changed her to a more comfortable hotel.
Delina also applied for a pregnancy allowance to purchase nutritional supplies for herself and her unborn babies.
But the Interior Ministry politely rejected her request and responded that the food provided by the hotel could meet her needs.

Finally, Delina felt a little safe,
But unexpectedly, Not long after, the Ministry of the Interior sent a letter saying that she would be forced to be sent to Rwanda .
In April this year, the UK launched the "Rwanda Plan", which intends to deport illegal immigrants who have been smuggled to this African country 6,400 kilometers away.
UK invested 120 million pounds to reach an agreement with the Rwandan government to resettle illegal immigrants sent by the UK.
They will be protected by Rwanda's laws, have equal employment opportunities, and enjoy social security and medical insurance services.
The government will also take the initiative to provide them with housing to help integrate into the Rwandan area.
This plan sounds very considerate of refugees,
But half a year has passed and the effect is not ideal.
In the publicity, refugees arriving in Rwanda will be transferred to the exclusive camp for transition.
There is a canteen, basketball court, volleyball court, , driving training ground, and training classes for weaving and hairdressing.
camp At the entrance, you can often see young boys and girls playing guitars and pianos and singing loudly, which helps to restore mental health.

, these scenes are more like an illusion for refugees who really live here.
In the refugee camp, it is very difficult to live the expected normal life, and the economic conditions are very limited.
Refugees who have received training here are usually forced to be farm workers or domestic servants to make a living,
And most people can't find a job at all, and the monthly living expenses are only about 35 pounds (about 280 yuan),
They can't afford basic daily necessities such as clothes, shoes, food, etc.
are also invisibly isolated and cannot integrate into Rwandan life, and have no chance to show their strength.
Under such conditions, it becomes extremely difficult to maintain a basic livelihood.
was deported to Rwanda, which has become a nightmare for refugees seeking asylum in the UK.
Delina had known about this plan before, but she thought she was 37 weeks pregnant and could escape this requirement.
When she thinks about the life she is about to face, she feels extremely uneasy and can't fall asleep all night.
She is very worried about the safety of her children because once she goes to Rwanda, she doesn't know what will happen.
"I have a dream that my children can have a life I have never had, I never had a chance to go to school, I hope they can be educated. I thought we would be safe in the UK and be able to have a stable life, but now I have lost all hope."
This incident has attracted a lot of attention,
Refugee charity Care4Calais said they have helped hundreds of refugees who threatened to be forced to deport to Rwanda,
But this is by far the "most shocking" case they have seen.
The government clearly knew that Delina was pregnant, but still sent a letter to send her to Rwanda.
This shows that the core of Rwanda's plan is a lack of compassion, cruel and barbaric, and it is disgusting to target pregnant women.
Perhaps because it cannot defeat the power of public opinion.
A day later, the Ministry of the Interior came out to apologize and took back the letter of forced deportation.
They said that everyone sent to Rwanda will undergo an independent assessment and will not be arranged to transfer if the situation is unsafe for them.
The government's apology made the agency Care4Calais very happy,
But netizens were very dissatisfied:
"It's really worrying, you must pay attention, but I'm also worried about this guy who kissed the dog tongue!"
"Why didn't she stay in her original place and risk her fetus to die at the risk of her death."
"Why didn't she stay in her original place and risk her fetus to die The risk (to come too)? "
"Just send her back to Eritrea..."
" We are happy to learn that the Ministry of the Interior has revoked the order to send Delina to Rwanda. She is an Eritrean pregnant woman refugee. We have been helping her. Now she is preparing to suck the NHS dry and looking forward to moving into her completely free and well-equipped house."
But for Delina herself, this apology came too late.
Due to extreme nervous mental condition and insomnia for many days,
The child in her belly has stopped growing and still in the womb.
If no miracle happens, the doctor will induce labor for her.
Although she will not be sent again for the time being, Delina's desire to find a stable life,
still fails again......
