A mobile bathhouse for refugees planned

The morning on the Belarusian-Polish border began with a snowfall which was an unpleasant surprise: many refugees have never seen snow and are not used to such weather conditions

“Representatives of various organisations, journalists and volunteers repeatedly come to us but none of them has answered the key question: when a humanitarian corridor will be organised for us,” a refugee notes, adding, “The temporary accommodation centre is fine since it protects our women and children from frost and cold, but we are staying here for 16 days already and it can't last that long. Understand, we have no way to return back to Kurdistan. There is no life, there is no future there!”

The Deputy Chairman of the Grodno Regional Executive Committee, Viktor Pranyuk, told the EU experts who arrived at the border about how life is organised in the crisis centre, how much food, articles of daily necessity and medicines are delivered daily to the Bruzgi checkpoint. The infrastructure here is all time improving and a mobile bathhouse is to be arranged on the site later today.
