An Indian man living in Canada shared a video from Toronto that highlights the struggles of the city’s homeless population. The clip, posted on Instagram by Nitish Advitiy, shows a man bending over a public fountain to wash his clothes before splashing water on his face.
As he films, Nitish Advitiy can be heard speaking in Hindi, saying, “I never imagined I would see such a scene here. This person is, I guess, homeless, and this is the condition of the homeless here.”
