The municipality of Utrecht will first receive asylum seekers in the Jaarbeurs on Friday. On Saturday they will be housed in a different location in the city or region, mayor Sharon Dijksma, chairman of the Utrecht Security Region, reported.

In order to help solve the ‘dire and acute situation’, the municipality of Utrecht will soon send its own people to Ter Apel to help. This includes crisis managers and other auxiliary troops who will provide support to ensure that registration and the reception of people run as quickly and smoothly as possible.
