Timeline
Oct 2025
Police investigate possible stabbing at reception centre
A conflict between two residents at the Anthony Fokkerstraat asylum centre prompted a major police response and an investigation into a possible stabbing.
Cost
Dutch asylum reception is funded by central government through the COA. At an illustrative benchmark of about €184 per person per night for emergency reception (noodopvang), the 375 people recorded here on 13 August 2025 imply roughly €25m 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.
