Asylum seekers sent to Rwanda for processing as part of a new plan announced this morning by the Home Office will stay in a hostel in the country’s capital called “Hope House”.

The four-storey complex, in the  Kagugu cell in Kinyinya sector, originally provided shelter for at least 192 orphans of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi's . It is unknown where those orphans have been moved to.

It is understood the Rwandan government will initially be paid £120m under the deal, which will be funded by the British taxpayer.
