Resident stabbed in fight at azc
41-year-old woman cut on the hand; 37-year-old resident arrested for assault and threats.
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 241 people recorded here on 13 August 2025 imply roughly €7.0m 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.
