Germany/Austria: Refugees wait in Hanging camp to cross into Wegscheid

About 500 refugees were stranded at the German/Austrian border of Wegscheid/Hanging, on Sunday, waiting to cross into the German territory. German police accompanied the refugees to the temporary shelters at the border town of Wegscheid. The refugees remained for hours in a 1,000 square-metre (11,000 square-feet) tent before they crossed to the German border town of Wegscheid. German Chancellor Angela Merkel held a governmental meeting at the German Chancellery on Sunday morning to discuss the strategy over the refugee crisis, as an effort to guarantee coalition unity. Bavarian Minister President Horst Seehofer and leader of sister party of CDU has given German Chancellor Angela Merkel an ultimatum with deadline for Sunday to find a solution to the migratory crisis that is particularly affecting the border region. Around 318,000 refugees predominantly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan have crossed into Bavaria since the beginning of August.
