The months-long migrant crisis that has played out along Poland’s border with Belarus is rapidly deepening as more people make desperate attempts to cross the frontier.
Warsaw and its allies are ramping up efforts to prevent people from entering the European Union member state as a war of words with Minsk intensifies.
Thousands of migrants and refugees were stranded along the frontier in freezing conditions on Thursday, with concerns growing over their wellbeing following a spate of deaths and reports of food and water shortages.
Poland and other EU member states accuse Belarus of encouraging migrants and refugees to try to cross the shared border in revenge for Western sanctions imposed on Minsk after the disputed August 2020 election that handed longtime President Alexander Lukashenko a sixth term.
