Dutch Court Orders Continued Shelter for Vulnerable Asylum Seekers
A Dutch court ruled that Minister for Asylum and Migration, Faber, must continue to provide shelter to 22 rejected asylum seekers in Rotterdam beyond January 1. The ruling prioritized the welfare of vulnerable individuals at risk of homelessness over the government’s plans to end the subsidy for the ‘bed-bad-brood’ program, which offers basic accommodations and meals. Cities like Groningen and Amsterdam will continue the program independently, while the court is also deliberating a separate case concerning asylum seekers in Utrecht.
