Another Twitter user, Rajwant Singh, has shared the addresses of the nearby Gurudwaras so that people can easily make their way to the place of worship and seek shelter and food there.

The Sikh community is well-known for their hospitality around the world and by coming to the rescue in this crucial time, they have made all of us very proud. The world needs to stand together in this hour of distress.

We sincerely pray for Barcelona and hope that the tragedy passes soon.
