He died of cold, frozen by freezing temperatures, on the border between Belarus and Poland. A one-year-old child died in a forest, where he had been for six weeks with mum and dad, Syrians, who were trying to enter the European Union. The Polish center for international aid reported on Twitter. The child is the twelfth victim among the people who fled from the Middle East and Central Asia.
His parents were seriously injured: the father had an arm injury, while the mother a knife wound to the leg. According to Polish Emergency Medical Team, a Polish humanitarian organization, the little boy died due to the inability to receive humanitarian aid and assistance from his parents, who in turn were in need of help. «I am following the tragic news from the border between Poland and Belarus. It is heartbreaking to see a child die of cold at the gates of Europe»Said the president of the EU Parliament, David Sassoli. “The exploitation of migrants and asylum seekers must stop, inhumanity must stop.”
Poland rejects migrants who would like to enter the European Union and oppose them with barbed wire and the military who have arrived to shoot water cannons. The wall on the other side is the firm will of Lukashenko’s Belarus to let these people press on the European border, in an area where temperatures are low during the day and widely below freezing at night.
The cold war on the borders between Poland and Belarus is turning into ahumanitarian emergency at the expense of migrants: thousands of people, just like the family of the one-year-old child, have been camping in the frozen forests for weeks. Last night Minsk cleared the migrant camp at the border, and the migrants who were between the Belarusian village of Bruzgi and the Polish village of Kuznica were transferred to a nearby facility.
Meanwhile Mateusz Morawiecki, Polish prime minister, in an interview with the German newspaper Image, it does not rule out that a real war could break out. “If we can’t handle thousands of migrants now, we will soon have hundreds of thousands, millions arriving in Europe,” he said. “Closing our border is in our national interest. But here the stability and security of the whole Union is at stake ». The Polish government has also announced plans to build a wall with Belarus: he wants to start in December, and he can do so because the treaties with the European Union (which also reiterated that it will not finance it) do not prohibit it. Today the Belarusian passage has become the new channel for migratory flows to Europe.
