The United Nations Commission on Human Rights has estimated that there are 100 million homeless people all over the world. Out of the 25 cities with very high homeless populations, guess which country came out first?

Manila, Philippines is the City with the Highest Homeless Population

 

Yup. Manila, Philippines is the city with the highest homeless population with more than 1.2 million homeless children living on the streets of the Philippines. So, aside from being the selfie capital and one of the most racist countries in the world, we are now known to have the highest homeless population, too. 🙁 Hopefully, we can do something to change this soon.

The next cities with high homeless populations on the list following Manila are New York City, which has more than 60,000 people sleeping in their shelter system every night; Los Angeles, which has more than 57,000 homeless people; Moscow, which has between 10,000 to 50,000 homeless people (depending on the information source); and Mexico City, which has between 15,000 and 30,000 people.
