As More Refugees Arrive From Ukraine, Berlin Expands Temporary Housing

BERLIN, GERMANY - DECEMBER 09: Refugees from Ukraine receive food in a cafeteria at the refugees registration center at former Tegel airport on December 09, 2022 in Berlin, Germany. Approximately 200 refugees from Ukraine have been arriving per day recently in Berlin, a significant rise that is prompting city officials to expand temporary housing. About 29,000 refugees are currently housed at accommodations overseen by the State Office for Refugees Affairs Berlin (LAF), with many more staying in private accommodation or with host families across the city. Russia's ongoing attacks against energy infrastructure during the current winter in Ukraine are forcing many people, particularly elderly and families with children, to flee westward.
