The German capital was characterized by traffic chaos on Monday­day­morning­day­ .

Stuck climate activists blocked the roads in over 30 different locations and paralyzed traffic, reports Der Spiegel. Close to 1,000 activists are said to have participated in the action.

This led, among other things, to only 14 out of 127 ambulances being available for calls.

“Many ambulances cannot be used because they are stuck in traffic jams due to the blockades,” Tagesspiegel reported.
