A CHARITY has warned of a “tsunami of suffering” for Glasgow’s asylum community after payment cards provided by the Home Office stopped working.
It is understood the government body changed its Aspen Card contract to a new supplier - causing families and individuals to suddenly be unable to access money.
Positive Action in Housing said it has been deluged by people who, overnight, were left without any funds.
Charity bosses have now given out more than £11,000 in crisis payments and are providing families with food parcels to tide them over.
