All surviving victims of the Magdeburg Christmas market attack are in a stable condition after being taken to hospital mostly with broken bones and internal bleeding, a local hospital official has told a German newspaper.

Five people were killed and over 200 were injured when a car was driven through crowds at the Christmas market in Magdeburg in eastern Germany. The far-right Alternative for Germany held a rally in the city on Monday.

Thousands of people in Magdeburg formed a human chain on Monday to remember the victims of the attack on a Christmas market in the central German city, as the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a rival rally.
