Migrants who have settled in the German city of Magdeburg say they have experienced a sharp increase in racism and anti-immigration sentiments following a deadly Christmas market attack last year

"The migrant community and the advice centers report that attacks have increased by more than 70% here in the city," said Saeeid Saeeid, who came to Germany from Syria seven years ago and is a member of the association. "Racism already exists here and everywhere. But it has increased enormously since the attack.”

Carried out by a Saudi national, the December attack has intensified anti-immigrant sentiment, with migrant advocacy groups reporting a 70% increase in incidents involving racism. View on euronews
