The Son Moix Sports Centre, home to RCD Mallorca is being set up to house at least 50 homeless people during the State of Emergency.

The Ajuntament de Palma made the announcement via Twitter and at the same time, thanked El Corte Inglés, Protur Badia Park Hotels in Sa Coma and Universal Hotel Romántica in Colonia Sant Jordi for donating mattresses and other materials for those who have absolutely nowhere else to go.
