Germany ... Relief organizations warn against establishing "anchor centers" for refugees

Relief organizations and institutions concerned with the relief and protection of refugees have warned against the consequences of sheltering children and adolescents, in “anchor centers” for refugees, which the German Interior Minister Horst Wefer spoke about. It is similar to the shelter camps for the new refugees since the beginning of their arrival in Germany until the issuance of the decision to seek asylum. If the request is rejected, the refugee is forcibly displaced.

The German DW quoted Mika Ribao, a spokeswoman for Save the Children, as saying that based on the available information on internal plans and visits regarding this issue, the “anchor centers” are not suitable places for children and adolescents.

Ribao stressed that the rights of the children and underaged must be respected in all procedures, including the right to go to school and nursery and to provide a safe and healthy environment in which the child grows.” “The best interests of the child must be a priority before the political and security considerations,” She added.

In a joint statement, 24 organizations and associations in charge of family affairs and child protection called on the federal government, local governments and municipalities in Germany, to address the rights and well-being of children when discussing this matter.

According to Deutsche Welle, German Interior Minister, Horst Wefer, is planning to build six centers of refuge and deportation, to be home to the asylum seekers in Germany by next September. According to the German news agency DPA, only Bavaria and Saarland Islands are ready to set up such centers.

According to the Interior Plans, refugees over the age of 18 and without a family can stay in these centers for up to 18 months, while the period for families is only six months.
