German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier urged “it is necessary to think about possible solutions to alleviate the plight of the homeless in his country, whose number has increased significantly, especially recently due to the high cost of living. “

The German president explained: “Wars and crises can cause more people in our country to lose their homes in autumn and winter. The poor, especially families who are no longer able to pay rent or additional expenses due to high prices, are now at risk of losing their homes.”

More than 300,000 people in Germany are homeless, according to official figures, and 45,000 of them sleep on the street.

The German President stressed: “We must not put up with the fact that someone in our country lives in need and poverty, without being able to live with dignity.”

Steinmar stressed that “we must now use our options to ensure that no one is hit hard to pay off debt due to rising housing costs, and that no one loses their home and ends up on the street.”

Western sanctions against Russia in connection with the war in Ukraine cast a shadow on the economic situation in many countries. This was clearly reflected in rising prices for electricity, fuel and food, especially in Europe and the United States.
