The European Court of Human Rights called on migrants on the Polish-Belarusian border<

In a group of migrants who have been blocked on the Polish-Belarus border for more than two weeks, a 52-year-old woman who immediately needs help is dying, and the Polish Ocalenie Foundation (Salvation) has appealed to the Polish government through social media.

The organization's staff is near a group of 32 refugees, probably Afghans. The European Court of Human Rights called on Warsaw to provide assistance to the group today, Reuters reported.

"Twenty-two-year-old Mrs. Gul will soon die in front of her five children. Rescue is needed right now! ”The foundation emphasized, according to Gazeta Wyborcza. Foundation chairman Piotr Bystrianin told the daily that the woman has serious problems with her kidneys, lungs and spine.

"It is essential that they see a doctor immediately and have her taken to hospital. But so far, members of the Polish forces have not allowed ambulances and people who wanted to help migrants, "he said.

EU ministers discuss Belarus and Afghanistan. Lithuania is calling for stricter migration rules, and the Czech Republic is ready to help the Baltics

The use of migration as a tool of pressure on the European Union is unacceptable for the Czech Republic. The Czech Minister of the Interior Jan Hamáček said this today during an extraordinary video conference of the EU Ministers of the Interior.

25 out of 32 refugees, who do not even have access to clean water, have already complained of various problems, and the last time they received something to eat - bread - from Belarusian border guards on Tuesday, the daily added.

The foundation is addressing the government directly, because the fate of a group of migrants is decided at the highest levels, foundation spokeswoman Kalina Czarnog told AFP.

Border guards and soldiers on the spot prevent activists from approaching, trying to negotiate megaphones and banners with refugees, but the police often try to prevent them. It does not even allow them to hand over food and equipment to refugees, who are being hit harder and harder by the cold and rainy weather.

Morawiecki: Belarus is responsible

The Polish government claims that the migrants are on the Belarusian side of the border, and therefore only Belarus is responsible for the situation. Today, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki stressed that the Belarusian authorities had prevented the transfer of Polish humanitarian aid sent to migrants.

A group of migrants involuntarily camp near the Polish village of Usnarz Górny, near which they tried to get to Poland from Belarus. Belarusian soldiers do not want to release the group, while Polish border guards prevent migrants from entering Poland. However, the Polish government at least sent a convoy to the site with assistance, including tents, blankets and electric generators.

The Commission has described the construction of a fence on the Lithuanian-Belarusian border as a "good idea", but will not fund it

The European Commission considers the Lithuanian government's plan to build a fence on the border with Belarus to be a "good idea", but will not contribute to its financing.

Morawiecki confirmed today that the Belarusians are obstructing the transfer of this aid. "Indeed, to our amazement, Polish humanitarian aid was completely rejected. They are people who are on Belarusian territory, so Belarus is fully responsible for them, "the prime minister said, according to the PAP agency.

The court ordered help

The European Court of Human Rights announced today that it has ordered Poland to provide all asylum seekers with food, water, clothing, adequate medical care and, if possible, temporary shelter. He addressed the same request to the Latvian government. Another group of refugees found themselves in a similar situation at the Latvian-Belarusian border. However, the court stated that its decision should not be interpreted as ordering Poland and Latvia to admit migrants to their territory.

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees and the Council of Europe's Commissioner for Human Rights, on the other hand, have called on Warsaw to admit a group of migrants. "Pushing people back, denying them access to the asylum procedure and simply leaving them in need cannot be a response from a Council of Europe member state bound by the European Convention on Human Rights, the Refugee Convention and other international human rights obligations," she said. Commissioner Dunja Mijatovičová.

Lithuania faces an influx of migrants from Belarus, the EU has promised financial assistance

European Union officials have pledged millions of euros to help Lithuania deal with the migration crisis, which the Baltic country accuses the regime of neighboring Belarus and its authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko of unleashing.

However, Poland refuses to allow migrants because, according to Prime Minister Morawiecki, it would mean succumbing to blackmail by the Belarusian regime.

Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia accuse Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko of organizing the current migration crisis on the Belarusian border. At the end of May, Lukashenko announced that Minsk would no longer prevent migrants from entering the European Union. According to Poland and the Baltic states, but also according to the EU, Lukashenko wants to avenge the migration wave for the sanctions adopted against his regime for harshly suppressing the opposition and violating civil rights in the country. Lithuania and Poland have announced that they will build fences on their borders to stop illegal migration.
