Second stabbing of the month
A stabbing on the grounds of the Oosterringweg centre was the second knife incident there that month.
Cost
Dutch asylum reception is funded by central government through the COA. At an illustrative benchmark of about €80 per person per night for a regular centre, the 174 people recorded here on 13 August 2025 imply roughly €5.1m per year. This is an order-of-magnitude figure for context only, not a site-specific invoice — emergency reception typically runs around three times the cost of a regular centre.
