  • The government will put up additional tents, including in western Austria, where less refugees arrive, amid outrage over the initiative and pleas from NGOs to address the situation.
  • Over 70,000 refugees, which excludes those coming in from Ukraine, have arrived in Austria since the start of the year.
  • The 200% increase has added to the strain on refugee housing.
