Stabbing between two residents
A dispute escalated into a stabbing; both residents were injured and arrested.
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 176 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.
