Germany’s coalition government says it will release 6 billion euros (£4.4m) to help states cope with record numbers of migrants and other measures to deal with the inflow.
This announcement is coming after talks between the two parties which make up Chancellor Angela Merkel’s coalition.
Over the weekend, about 18,000 migrants arrived after an agreement with Austria and Hungary to relax asylum rules.
Migrants are continuing to arrive at Munich station.
Meanwhile, critics in Germany have accused Chancellor Merkel of creating a dangerous example by opening Germany’s borders.
BBC had quoted the Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, as saying “as long as we can’t defend Europe’s outer borders, it is not worth talking about how many people we can take in”.
On Saturday, Austria and Germany opened their borders to thousands of exhausted migrants, who had travelled to the Hungarian border after efforts by a right-wing government to stop failed.
After days of confrontation and chaos, Hungary’s government deployed over 100 buses overnight to take thousands of migrants to the Austrian frontier.
