Hundreds of migrants in Belarus flock to Polish border

POLAND - BELARUS BORDER - NOVEMBER 15: Latest footage from Poland-Belarus border on Monday, Nov. 15, shows hundreds of migrants walking through forests to reach the border area and waiting for crossing to European countries.At least 2,000 people, including women and children, have got stuck at the Belarus-Poland border area in dire conditions since last week.According to the EU, the Belarusian regime reaches out to potential travelers by seemingly official channels, through diplomatic representations or travel agencies, and invites them to Belarus by offering visas and guiding them to the EU border.NATO and the EU consider Belarus’ approach towards migrants as a hybrid attack meant to destabilize and undermine security in European countries through non-military means.EU countries bordering Belarus – Lithuania, Latvia and Poland – have been reporting a dramatically growing number of irregular crossings since August.Over 8,000 people tried to enter the bloc via the Belarus-EU border so far this year, up sharply from just 150 last year.
