WILLEMSTAD - The illegal migrants who have been placed with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) will remain under the care of the organization for the time being. The IOM was called in by the Netherlands to help illegal immigrants in need with food parcels and food cards.
Care for and assistance to the migrants would be taken over by the Ministry of Social Development, Labor and Welfare (SOAW) as of 1 August. Because there is still no clarity a few days before that date, the IOM has decided to continue the aid.
