(Dutch News) The Netherlands is “looking into” the option of trying to move Dutch women and children living in refugee camps in Syria to safe areas where they can return to the Netherlands, justice minister Ferd Grapperhaus has told broadcaster NOS.
“What we are looking into is can we get them to safe areas, with the help of the people who have power over the camps,” Grapperhaus said. “Then they can register at the Dutch consulate and we can get them to the Netherlands and the children to social services. That is my main motivation.”
Grapperhaus was commenting on the news that a Dutch Muslim convert had died in a refugee camp two weeks ago, leaving her two children, aged two and four, as orphans. Officals estimate 30 Dutch women are currently living in the three main refugee camps.
