A transgender woman who fled the US seeking asylum in the Netherlands now fears she could be ‘hurt or killed’ after the notorious refugee camp she was placed in became so dangerous that the Red Cross pulled out aid workers.

Ter Apel, the Netherlands’ largest refugee camp, is home to around 2,000 asylum seekers from across the globe.

For years, it has sheltered people fleeing war and persecution, including Eritreans, Somalis and Syrians, who say it remains too dangerous to return home despite the fall of Bashar al-Assad.
