Aa en Hunze receives fifty asylum seekers in care location De Biester near Gieten. “We hope to be able to count on the commitment and involvement of our residents again.”

The stay of the fifty people in the care location of Cosis on the Verlengde Asserstraat just outside Gieten will initially last until December this year. “We all know the images of Ter Apel,” reports mayor Anno Wietze Hiemstra. “That has ensured that a new request has been made to municipalities to organize crisis emergency shelters.”
