The refugees have had a tiring journey as they went by train and shuttle bus to Vienna and then by train again to Munich and other cities of Germany. The report said that with the arrival of these refugees, many of whom are from the Syrian civil war, the number of refugees in Munich has increased to 8,000 while the number of refugees to have arrived in Austria from Hungary on Saturday has increased to 9,000. Many refugees from Afghanistan and Iraq have also arrived in Austria and Germany.
