What exactly is this: asylum, temporary protection, humanitarian admission, resettlement or another protection mechanism?

A residence permit with a 'temporary humanitarian' residence purpose, which the person can apply for if, through no fault of their own, they cannot leave the Netherlands; it is temporary because the organisations involved expect the situation to be short-term.
