One year after the start of the conflict in Ukraine, more than 65,000 refugees have been granted temporary protection in our country.

Every day, for over a year, asylum seekers have been finding themselves on the streets because of a lack of sufficient places.

In July, 3,159 Ukrainian refugees received a protection certificate. 25% were assisted by Fedasil in finding accommodation.

2021 was marked by a new reception crisis. Occupancy in centres for asylum seekers increased throughout the year.

Fedasil is facing a lack of places for the reception of asylum seekers.

More than 41,000 Ukrainian refugees have received a protection certificate in Belgium. 23% have asked Fedasil for temporary housing.

The registration centre for Ukrainian refugees is moving this Monday to the 'Heysel' in Brussels.

Belgium has set up a specific path for the registration and the reception of Ukrainian nationals.

More than 20,000 asylum seekers entered Fedasil's reception network in 2021. Almost a third were Afghans.

The arrival centre of Fedasil (Brussels) will be closed on Friday 31 December 2021.
