Opinion: Belarus is doing everything possible for refugees unlike European politicians

GRODNO, 15 December (BelTA) - Belarus is doing everything possible for refugees unlike European politicians, who are all talk but no action, Igor Gedich, a member of the Council of the Republic, told the media, BelTA has learned.

15 December is the 38th day of refugees at the border. Now they are living in the accommodation facility in the Bruzgi transport and logistics center near the Belarusian-Polish border. There are about 800 people here, 40% of whom are women and children.

"The work has been organized in a routine mode. I would like to note that Belarus is doing everything possible for these people, unlike the European officials, who are all talk but no real action," Igor Gedich said.

The refugees are provided with hot meals and essentials. A mobile bathhouse has been mounted near the logistics center. Medics are on standby 24/7. Up to 100 people seek consultative and other help on a daily basis. Five children (three of them are newborns) and six adults are currently being treated in Grodno hospitals.

Representatives of the International Organization for Migration visited the logistics center on 15 December. They came to inspect the situation and facilitate voluntary return of refugees to their home countries. “Refugees have come here with a certain goal, which is to reach Europe. They still hope to make it there ,” said Igor Gedich.
