Government said it is imposing a ban on providing shelter for single men seeking asylum, arguing for families, women and children first.
BRUSSELS – The Belgian government said Wednesday it is imposing a ban on providing shelter for single men seeking asylum, arguing its insufficient reception capacity should be freed for families, women and children first. Aid organizations condemned the move as reneging on international commitments.
On Wednesday, Asylum State Secretary Nicole de Moor said increasing pressure on asylum housing was expected over the coming months and she “absolutely wants to avoid that children will end up in the streets this winter.” Instead, single men will have to fend for themselves.“We thought we´d seen it all, but no.
On top of the asylum-seekers, Belgium is also giving help to some 62,000 Ukrainian refugees who fled Russia´s war in their country. Still, said de Moor, “our country has already done more than its share for a long time,” and called on some other EU nations to increase their effort instead.

While male-male courtship behavior among fruit flies is not a new discovery, the findings of this study suggest that intense light exposure specifically precipitates it.
