Emotional footage has appeared on social media showing thousands of Germans welcome Ukrainian refugees as they arrive by train in Berlin.

The central railway station has seen trains arrive every day from the east carrying people who have been forced out of their homes by war.

Those who want to head onwards get free train tickets to anywhere in Europe. Those who don’t, or don’t know where they should go, get directed down to a cavernous hall.

According to BBC reports, there is a huge operation to welcome them in the station.

Food and drink is handed out along with sim cards for phones, and there are medical teams, translators, volunteers and organisers to help.

And there’s a crowd, hundreds strong, of German families standing there too, offering places in their homes to the refugees.

They hold up homemade signs: “Can host two people! Short or long-term,” says one. “Big room. One-three people. Children welcome too! For as long as you want,” says another.

There’s a round of applause as a man with a megaphone asks if anyone can take 13 people – and someone steps forward.

Despite the numbers of refugees arriving, it seems there are more than enough German families to take them in.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
