Doctors Without Borders has sent a medical delegation to the asylum center in ter apel to inspect the health conditions of asylum seekers for whom the Dutch authorities were unable to provide shelter.

The conditions in which the refugees are living are more than tragic, as there are no private facilities such as toilets and showers, and the refugee suffers from several diseases in the complete absence of health care, which prompted the non-governmental organization Doctors Without Borders to volunteer to examine the refugees closely and provide them with the necessary treatments in the said center, which the mission compared The media at the Moria refugee center on the Greek island of Lesbos.

A spokesman for the aforementioned medical organization told the Dutch media that many refugees suffer from skin diseases because they have not washed for weeks and have been sleeping in tents in the center's yard that lack the most basic necessities that a person needs.
