A group of 32 migrants from Afghanistan have been left trapped between the border of Belarus and Poland for two weeks now as the Polish authorities are not allowing them to enter the country’s territory, and the Belarusian authorities are refusing to let them return back.

As such, Poland is holding Belarus responsible for trapping migrants between the border and creating a humanitarian crisis by calling this a dirty game played by the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko.

In order to keep everything under control, Poland has deployed hundreds of soldiers at the border, while around 100 others were sent to Afghanistan to help Afghans who worked in Polish missions.

In regards to this situation, the Prime Minister of Poland, Mateusz Morawiecki, has said that he sympathises with the migrants while indicating that they are being used as a tool by Lukashenko in order to create turmoil in Europe.

As a response to the current migrants’ situation, a Non-Governmental Organization Fundacja Ocalenie, translating as Salvation Foundation, has sent several activists at the border near the Usnarz Górny village. As part of their activity, the members of the foundation have provided the migrants with the necessary items such as sleeping bags, food, and tents.

Persons who took part in this action called the situation scandalous and inhumane while emphasising that in line with the law of Poland, every migrant has the right to apply for legal protection.

In addition, the foundation continues to remain active in social media, calling against such injustices.

“During the last contact with a group of refugees and women refugees, we found out that one of them had severe lung pain,” Salvation Foundation said.

Except for Poland, a similar situation has prevailed in Lithuania. After the country declared a state of emergency due to the high number of migrants reaching the country through Belarus, the country has decided to build a barrier with the intention of preventing migrants from illegally entering the country.

The decision to establish such a barrier has been confirmed by the Prime Minister of Lithuania herself, who emphasised that more than 1,000 migrants who attempted to enter the Baltic country have been located at the border shared by Lithuania and Belarus.

Illegal travel to the two countries mentioned above as well as to Latvia has been highly prevalent ever since the European Union decided to enact sanctions against Lukashenko as a response to the escalation of serious human rights violations.
