The German city of Munich has opened its door to thousands of refugees and has been greeting them with kindness and warmth.
For the past week, hundreds of police, medical personnel and volunteers have been working every day at the central station, where trains bring a constant stream of migrants and refugees to the city via countries including Austria, Hungary and Italy.
They have set up reception centers at the station and prepared food and clothes for the new arrivals.
"Here in the main station we are only working for human aspects. They get something to drink, they get something to eat, they get a rooftop and they get medical screening," said Thomas Bowman, a spokesman for the police authorities in Munich.
A volunteer said more than 1,000 residents have signed up to help the refugees at the station.
"Lots of people are just really happy that they can now hands on actually do something, even if it's only the small thing of first relief or just actually welcoming the people, smiling at them and say, 'yes, after your long odyssey and bad flight and after all the stress you have gone through in your home countries, you are welcome here and we want to welcome you,'" said Colin Natta, a volunteer.
He added that others are also doing whatever they can to help, such as by donating food, clothes and other basic supplies.
Germany has been the EU's biggest recipient of refugees and its government estimates 800,000 refugees will arrive this year, four times as many as last year.
The government has announced plans to allocate six billion euros in public funds to help cope with the influx. Germany will also commit an additional 3,000 police and 10,000 volunteers, and set up 150,000 temporary shelters across the country to help the refugees through the coming winter.
