Munich, (IINA) - Scores of Syrian refugees arrived at Munich's main train station on Tuesday, where they were greeted by residents holding signs reading, "Refugees welcome" and offered them aid.
"Thank you Germany," some of the newly arrived refugees shouted as they got off a train. Munich's police said they were "thrilled" with the donations. Police told people not to bring any more supplies for the time being, because what they had was sufficient.
Germany is the target destination for many of the thousands of people fleeing war and poverty in countries like Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. The country expects to receive about 800,000 asylum seekers this year.
Chanting the words "Freedom" and "Germany," hundreds of people who hoped to catch trains from Budapest's Keleti station to Austria and Germany where they hoped to seek asylum, protested on Tuesday against Hungarian authorities' decision to suspend rail traffic.
Human rights watchdogs have criticized Hungary's actions. It is worth to mention that during last weekend’s matches, football fans in Germany displayed large banners bearing the slogan of "Refugees Welcome".
