Melech 9,900 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 "Police in a German city have been forced to ask the public to stop bringing donations for arriving refugees after being inundated with food, clothes and toys in an overwhelming show of support. This morning, Polizei München’s official account tweeted that around 590 refugees were at the city’s main train station, adding: “Anyone who wants to help is welcome.” They could scarcely have predicted the huge response that followed within just minutes, as hundreds more migrants continued to disembark at the Hauptbahnhof. Little over an hour after police announced the refugees’ arrival, they wrote that they were being inundated by volunteers with food, drink and nappies for babies, adding: “We think it’s great!” Shortly before 11am, officers confirmed that the aid was continuing to flow in. A Twitter post read: “More refugees are arriving at the Hauptbahnhof in Munich – help from the public isn’t stopping. Class!” [Volonteers prepare toiletries for migrants coming from Budapest at the main train station in Munich, Germany, Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2015.] Volonteers prepare toiletries for migrants arriving train station in Munich on 1 September By 1pm, police and local authorities transferring the refugees to reception centres had more than they needed and the Twitter account issued a polite request for people to “please bring no more items” as they were “overwhelmed”. To clarify, a second post read: “The existing donations for the refugees present and those still coming are sufficient. Thank you Munich.” It was followed by similar statements in English but as offers of help continued, police shared contact details for the city council for those still wishing to donate. Munich has seen thousands of asylum seekers and migrants arrive at its main train station in recent days, including many Syrians and Iraqis who boarded trains from Hungary after reaching Europe through the Balkans. Many more families were hoping to arrive in the city today but were prevented from catching a train from Budapest by Hungarian authorities. Police temporarily stopped all westbound international departures from Keleti station and forced hundreds of migrants outside, where they protested by waving their tickets and chanting “Germany! Germany!”.

Better Day 5,766 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 In an independent Scotland we would take more refugees. David Cameron said the UK won't be taking refugees. He's such a facist. Together You And I! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qualle1 1,385 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I will donate tomorrow money for the asylum seekers/refugees to the German Red Cross. Moreover I will donate money for Doctors Without Boarders, who are treating asylum seekers/refugees who are currently "stranded" in South Europe (f. e. Greece) and also living in the huge camps in Lebanon. MAKE LOVE NOT WAR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
