His brother and mother have been killed in bombardments he said. On Friday night three buses with around 125 refugees arrived from the central processing center in Ter Apel. Town officials were only notified several hours in advance. Due to the high influx of refugees in Europe pressure is being put on national and local governments to harbour them.
