Dutch Minister for Asylum, Faber, has urged local authorities to step up efforts in providing accommodation for unaccompanied minor asylum seekers. The current capacity stands at 1,720, while a demand for 3,500 spaces is anticipated by year-end, worsening the asylum crisis. The lack of available housing has led to significant backlog issues, with nearly 11,000 refugees needing homes by mid-year. The government plans to revise the housing requirements for municipalities but emphasizes that legal changes are necessary before implementation.
