A cruise liner that has been hired by the Dutch government to accommodate 1,000 asylum seekers arrived in Amsterdam’s western harbour area last week and now migrants are uploading their videos to TikTok showing them living in the lap of luxury.
The MS Galaxy, designed to carry up to 2,800 tourists, will spend at least six months docked in the harbour, between the Coentunnel and the mooring point for river cruisers.
The move is mainly aimed at relieving overcrowding at the Ter Apel reception centre in Groningen, where hundreds of asylum seekers have had to sleep on the grass verge outside and the charity Médicins Sans Frontières has described conditions as ‘inhumane’.
