According to the health inspectorate, medical assistance was ineffective. The name, gender, and nationality of the child were not disclosed.

NGOs say the child lived in an overcrowded orphanage near Groningen and was kept in “inhuman conditions”.

“Inspectors from the youth services and the Ministry of Justice are investigating the death of the child, which occurred at a sports hall that serves as an emergency shelter,” the Dutch Justice Ministry said on Wednesday.

The inspectorate said it was investigating all possible aspects that could play a role in the child’s death. This includes checking whether medical care has been provided before, the availability of care at the center, and the living conditions there.
