After the death journey from the Magdeburg Christmas market, more than 600,000 euros were raised in the city’s donation account. The city announced a week after the fatal attack that a total of 5,640 donors had participated in the campaign so far.
Mayor Simone Borris (independent) said: “The willingness of the population to donate is impressive and a further sign of the great cohesion, broad support and sense of community that we currently feel in many places in Magdeburg.”
In order to receive support as quickly as possible for the victims and relatives of the attack on December 20, the city and Sparkasse Magdeburg have opened the account. There are also other fundraising events.
Taleb A., from Saudi Arabia, raced through the Christmas market in a car last Friday. Five people were killed and more than 200 others were injured. The perpetrator is in custody.
