according to a report by www.berliner-zeitung.de , the Berlin police have been in constant use since the attack by the terrorist organization Hamas. Interior Senator Iris Spranger stated that so far 18 demonstrations have been registered for this week, of which 116 demonstrations with Middle East relief in Berlin have taken place since October 7th.

Local effects:
The increasing demonstrations in Berlin present the police with enormous challenges. The protective measures for 159 Jewish institutions require more than 650 emergency services around the clock. The increased threat Situation means that the police have reached the limits of their capacities. Strip car are now filled with prevention officers and contact area officials, which affects the main activities of these officials.

Furthermore, the federal police have fully exhausted their capacities on the border with Poland, so that the Berlin police cannot count on external support. The upcoming visit to the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the international match Germany against Turkey require around 3,400 police forces, which further tightens the situation for the Berlin police.

In view of the tense situation, it is necessary that the Berlin police urgently can access broader support in order to maintain security in the city.
