The huge influx of migrants into southern Germany has continued unabated, with the Munich authorities now saying 13,000 arrived on Saturday.
But the city authorities have again warned they are at “the limit” when it comes to coping with the numbers.
“We have reached the upper limit of our capacity,” a police spokesman said, as frantic efforts were under way to accommodate the new arrivals.
Record numbers have also been crossing from Serbia into Hungary.
More than 4,000 people walked across the border with Serbia – the most so far in one day – just as the authorities in Hungary were completing preparations to seal the frontier.
Europe as a whole is struggling to deal with an enormous influx of people, mostly from Syria but also Afghanistan, Eritrea and other countries, fleeing violence and poverty, reports the BBC.
Munich, in Germany’s southern state of Bavaria, has been the main entry point for those entering the country in search of a better life, but the city says it is having difficulty finding accommodation for them.
“We lack 1,000 to 5,000 places,” Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter told the ‘Sueddeutsche Zeitung’.
The authorities are considering using a sports venue from the 1972 Olympics, the Olympiahalle, as a temporary shelter.
Dieter also repeated his call for other German regions to take in more migrants.
