Overcrowded asylum center Ter Apel again: six hundred people too many in reception | Inland

This means that the crisis situation of early October seems to be back. At that time there were seven hundred people too many at the peak. It led to fights, among other things, and the riot police also had to go to Ter Apel to restore calm in the registration center. Insiders now say that “there are clear signals that Westerwolde is now back to the situation in October”. Another source indicates that there are 2600 people in the shelter of Ter Apel tonight. It is agreed that a maximum of 2,000 asylum seekers will stay.

About 550 of them stay in the much-discussed tents of the night shelter. That is 275 asylum seekers more than agreed.
