The Roma tribe, which migrated from the present-day Northern India and Pakistan to Europe centuries ago, faces conditions there as bad as those in sub-Saharan Africa, says a new report. The report, released by the United Nations Development Programme, has covered about 4 to 5 million Roma - of the estimated eight million in Europe - in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. The report says one out of every two Roma goes hungry at least a few days every year. One out of six is constantly starving. Many among them live in conditions "closer to those of sub-Saharan Africa than to Europe".
