Franziska Giffey (SPD), the Governing Mayor of Berlin, stressed the amount of help being offered by the state and by many volunteers. "We can say so far that everyone who arrived here and needed a bed also got one. This was possible thanks to the enormous willingness of Berliners to help, many of whom have welcomed people into their homes." Giffey added that the Senate was continuing to work on providing additional accommodation offered by the state, such as by cooperating with hostels. According to the Senate Chancellery, 350 people were accommodated by the state of Berlin in shelters on Monday, 1400 on Tuesday, and 1700 on Wednesday, some of them also in Brandenburg and other federal states. "There is a strong upward trend."
