State Secretary Eric van der Burg (Asylum) announced this this evening after a cabinet meeting. According to the VVD minister, it is known how many Ukrainians are in an asylum seekers center or reception location. But that does not apply to their compatriots who have come to visit friends or family in the Netherlands. “Registration gives us a better picture of it.”
In addition, the Central Information Node Ukraine has been rigged. Tonight it will already be accessible to municipalities and from tomorrow also to other institutions involved in the reception of Ukrainian refugees. They can call there to get more information. This hub will also take care of the distribution of refugees over available locations from Thursday.
Last week, the cabinet decided to start looking for 50,000 reception places. The 25 security regions are expected to provide 2000 places each. According to Van der Burg, the total number can increase further if necessary, he said earlier today in the House of Representatives. “When the 50,001st reports, we cannot say: you sleep outside. We will have to work.”
