Clashes at German refugee camp in Kassel injure 14
At least 14 people have been injured in clashes at a refugee camp near the central German city of Kassel.
The clashes happened on Sunday and lasted several hours, DPA reported. The injured include three policemen.
The fighting broke out at a large camp housing over 1,500 asylum-seekers from 20 different countries in tents.
The incident happened after two refugees got into a fight with each other at about mid-day during lunch time. Then the fight become more serious after two large groups of Albanian and Pakistani refugees got involved.
By evening time, another fight broke out pitting a group of around 70 refugees against another group of about 300.
Police broke up the fight and restored order to the refugee camp. According to local media, no arrests were made.
Germany has become top destination for hundreds of thousands of people fleeing violence in Syria and elsewhere in Middle East and North Africa. The country is expecting up to a million refugees in 2015, up from 200,000 last year.
Many of the asylum seekers reach Germany after taking a perilous route through the Balkans and Central Europe.
Europe has faced its worst influx of refugees since World War II. The refugee crisis has created divisions among EU states as some of them are not interested in taking in the refugees that are mostly Muslims.
