Abdir Isaak acquired a two-room flat in Biskopsgården in Gothenburg seven years ago. Not long after, his entire family moved from Somalia to Sweden.
Now eleven people, of whom nine are children aged 2 to 19 years old, all living in the same flat. Abdir says they are looking for a bigger flat somewhere in Gothenburg, preferably with four or five rooms, but have not found anything yet.

Buying a home is out of question because both he and his wife are unemployed since at least six years back.
The Moderate Party MP Hanif Bali recently commented on the family’s situation on Twitter. He questioned the fact that they despite overcrowding, still chose to have two more children.
“Why have you continued to squeeze out offsprings during these six years, when you are unemployed, lack adequate housing and obvious common sense?”, he wondered.
Bali also noted that after all, the family could afford a bigger flat, at least in the rental market. This thanks to the contributions that such a large family is entitled to – about SEK 40,000 (€4,000) – or SEK 50,000 (€5,000), if they manage to find a larger flat, according to Bali.
In a report by Hem & Hyra, Abdir was asked whether he and his wife were hesitant to have more children. Yes, of course we were. But what happened happened nonetheless, he replied.
