Belgium: Asylum centres unable to cope with influx of new asylum-seekers

Via VRT:
The Federal Asylum Agency Fedasil has enlisted the help of several estate agents to find private rented properties near to existing asylum centres. However, not all local municipalities are happy with the move.

Fedasil is currently looking for a solution to the shortage of places and overcrowding at its existing asylum centres.

The centres are unable to cope with the influx of new asylum-seekers and there have been well-documented cases of asylum-seekers being put up in hotels and army camps due to a lack of available accommodation at asylum centres.
