Minister: No Guarantee of Quick Solution for Unsafe Conditions in Asylum Child Emergency Housing
Immigration Minister Van den Brink stated he cannot guarantee that all asylum children will be moved to safe housing within six months, despite urgent recommendations from the Safety Board (OVV). The OVV highlighted alarming conditions in emergency facilities such as sports halls and container homes, where children face instability, lack of privacy, and potential developmental harm. While the minister pledged to identify the most dangerous locations immediately, he noted dependence on municipal cooperation under the distribution law. Organizations including Save the Children and the Kinderombudsman welcomed the report, calling for parliamentary inquiry and structural improvements to prevent future violations of children's rights.
