Siyer, a refugee from Afghanistan, looks at his smartphone from the window of his room at the container settlement for refugees in the Allende quarter of Koepenick district on March 6, 2015 in Berlin, Germany. The settlement, located among high-rise apartment flats, houses 386 refugees and is one of six container settlements recently built by Berlin authorities in an effort to provide housing for a record number of arriving migrants and refugees seeking asylum. Germany, which accepted a record-number of refugees in 2014, expects over 200,000 to arrive in 2015, and many local communities are struggling to adequately house their share. -- source link
