BERLIN:
German newspapers Bild and BZ published Wednesday a pull-out guide in Arabic
for refugees in the capital city, headlining it “Welcome to Berlin”.
The four-page guide includes a
map bearing Arabic translations of key districts, with locations of refugee
shelters and other key migration services.
The supplement published in the
greater Berlin region also includes a dictionary of basic German phrases,
greetings, directions and the days of the week.
BZ told readers to give the
edition “as a gift to a refugee after reading it”.
Germany’s media have thrown their
weight behind the government’s decision to open the doors to an unprecedented
number of refugees fleeing war and persecution in countries including Syria and
Iraq.
Bild, Germany’s top-selling
daily, has in recent weeks run a campaign called “We help”.
In tomorrow's edition:

rape support centers are located.
