Dozens of refugees who were received at the tent camp shelter of Heumensoord near the Dutch city of Nijmegen are demonstrating for better living conditions within the shelter. According to NOS reporter Tanja Braun, they have become worried after the Immigration and Naturalisation Service recently told them they might have to spend five months in Heumensoord.

Other asylum seekers in the tent camps reject the protest action and say they're happy a shelter has been set up near Nijmegen.
