The number of injured in the Magdeburg Christmas market attack has risen to 299, with some victims only recently identified.

The tragedy, caused by a 50-year-old man driving into the market, left five dead and hundreds traumatized.

Local politicians are now calling for a review of security measures to prevent future incidents.

A temporary memorial near the site has drawn many visitors, with plans for a permanent tribute under discussion.

Roland Weber, the new Federal Victim Commissioner, has pledged continued support for those affected.

The suspect, a Saudi Arabian doctor, remains in custody as investigations continue.
