Two men have been charged with setting fire to the hall in Dusseldorf, Germany, in an attack that saw huge hundred-metre high billows of smoke fill the air above the city. German Red Cross employees reported the arson attack took place on June 7 as a result of heightened tensions during Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting that sees Muslims avoid food during the daytime.

While the centre cancelled ordinary lunchtime meals to the dismay of non-Muslims, hot food was still available during the early morning and late evening. A spread of cold food was also made available during the day for migrants who were not observing the religious holiday.

While the centre cancelled ordinary lunchtime meals to the dismay of non-Muslims, hot food was still available during the early morning and late evening. A spread of cold food was also made available during the day for migrants who were not observing the religious holiday. But it appears the selection of food was not good enough for some of the residents, after a gang of migrants decided to fire to the hall.

It is believed the perpetrators were angry that Nutella and confectionary was being made available during daylight hours, meaning supplies were then limited during the night. As they lit fires throughout the centre, they shouted: “There isn’t enough Nutella, Gummibears and chocolate.” German Red Cross Kitchen Master Stefan Gross said: “Most migrants were satisfied. There are always very few who complain.”
