The Fedasil network and its partners have passed the threshold of 36,000 places.
This winter, Fedasil is opening temporary centres to accommodate as many asylum seekers as possible.
In one year, our Info Point for migrants in Brussels has received nearly 11,500 visitors.
Pieter Spinnewijn has been appointed as the new Director General of Fedasil. He took office this Monday 1 July.
This Tuesday, Fedasil welcomed the director of the European Union Agency for Asylum (EUAA), Nina Gregori.
Despite the creation of more than 3,000 places in 2023, Fedasil ran out of places to accommodate all asylum seekers.
Belgium resettled 287 refugees last year, mostly Congolese and Syrians.
The Belgian government has decided to set up a task force in charge of finding at least 2,000 temporary places for this winter.
Families of asylum seekers are temporarily accommodated in a youth hostel.
In 2023, Fedasil continues to benefit from a support of the European agency EUAA (containers, supply of staff and interpreters).
Last year, Fedasil assisted 2,673 persons who decided to return to their country of origin.
Due to the saturation of the reception network of Fedasil, only 71 refugees could be resettled last year in Belgium.
