BOSTON - Months after Massport's Interim CEO said that Logan Airport is "not an appropriate place" to house migrant families, a WBZ-TV photographer captured dozens of families sleeping under blankets in a corner of Terminal E, the airport's international terminal.

Keturah Douze, a Medford woman who is in contact with some of the migrants, estimates that there are roughly 100 people there. She said many families have young children. Douze has been collecting items to help with cleanliness.

"A lot of well-care stuff because while they're at the airport they don't have access to a shower so there's like some shower wipes, little towels just to clean up while they wait," she said.
