150 migrants moved from overcrowded Dutch asylum center

Authorities moved 150 migrants Thursday night from an overcrowded asylum seekers center in the northeastern Netherlands to two sports halls in a central city, alleviating the suffering of some of the people who have been camped in the open air in sweltering summer temperatures.
The city of Apeldoorn announced that it had provided short-term accommodation to ease the crisis and that the asylum-seekers would move on after four days to another location.
Hundreds of migrants have been sleeping outdoors in squalid conditions just outside the small village of Ter Apel because the asylum center there is too full to house them, drawing comparisons to overcrowded migrant camps on Greek islands.
The situation is so grim that the Dutch arm of Doctors Without Borders sent a team there Thursday, the first time the agency has launched a mission in the Netherlands.
