10 Palestinian refugees trapped on the border between Belarus and Poland returned to AlNeirab Camp, in the northern Syrian province of Aleppo.
Speaking with AGPS, a number of returnees struggled with abject humanitarian conditions on the Belarusian-Polish borders. Belarusian authorities told them to choose between being pushed back to Syria or staying in a forest on the border area where hundreds of other migrants have been shivering in extremely cold weather.
The refugees attempted to enter the Polish territories to seek humanitarian asylum before they were caught by the army and returned to the border with Belarus.
The cash-strapped groups include women and children who risk to die of cold weather. Food items on the border area are sold at extremely exorbitant prices.
Hundreds of people from places like Iraq, Afghanistan and Africa have been trying to cross the border illegally every day
Poland has declared a state of emergency in the region and plans to build a wall on the border.
The Polish parliament has also passed legislation that human rights advocates say aims to legalise pushbacks of migrants across its borders in breach of the country’s commitments under international law.
