  • The Dutch government on Friday continued work to find alternative accommodation for hundreds of migrants and refugees who have been forced to sleep rough outside a refugee reception center due to overcrowding inside.
  • Two people were hospitalized from outside the camp Thursday — a man who had a heart attack and another who did not have medication for his diabetes.
  • Dutch officials blame cutbacks following the COVID-19 pandemic which forced the closure of some refugee centers and placed additional pressure on others, leading to the overcrowding at Ter Apel.
