Refugees staying at Belarusian border checkpoint Bruzgi make campfires trying to warm up

MINSK, 17 November (BelTA) – A number of refugees remain in the camp at the Belarusian border checkpoint Bruzgi.

All of them have been repeatedly invited to move to the temporary accommodation facility established upon instructions of Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko in a nearby warehouse. However, the refugees remain at the border checkpoint. They are trying to find shelter from wind and cold in tents and burn campfires in order to stay warm.

Situation in refugee camp at Belarusian border checkpoint Bruzgi remains calm

Hundreds of refugees lined up in front of Polish military personnel about one hour ago and repeated the words “Help, Poland” over and over. They went away later on and only a handful of people still stand in front of the fence.
