NEW YORK -- Some migrants say as Ramadan comes to a close, they're not getting the proper food at New York City shelters, but the city says it's all a big misunderstanding.
Amadou Barry came to New York from Guinea in West Africa three months ago. He's one of the 3,000 asylum seekers at the Randall's Island humanitarian center breaking fast in the shelter's cafeteria.
"Sometimes good food, sometimes no good food," Barry said.
Tuesday, he said the food was good. It was Eid al-Fitr, celebrating the end of the month of Ramadan.
More than half the migrants at the Randall's Island shelter are Muslim.
