A Rwanda hostel set aside to house deported illegal immigrants from the UK under a new deal has been preparing to accommodate children, it emerged on Friday.

A five-a-side football pitch and a basketball court are being built at the Hope Hostel in the Rwandan capital of Kigali, a manager told British journalists who traveled with Prime Minister Boris Johnson during his trip to Rwanda. The hostel’s management is also considering getting some toys.
