Belarus has confirmed that some 2,000 Middle East migrants are currently camped at the EU border crossing near northeast Poland, which has emerged as the main crisis point involving clashes with Polish border police and attempts to dismantle the security fence.
Amid frigid temperatures the crisis continues to escalate, with on Saturday the death of a young Syrian man being reported at the border. “Polish border authorities said Saturday that the body of a young Syrian man around 20 years old was found Friday. The man was found near Wólka Terechowska, a village in northeastern Poland,” The Wall Street Journal reports. “The exact cause of death wasn’t immediately determined, they said.”
