An interfaith coalition called on the Polish government to offer aid to the people stuck at the border, who 'suffer from hunger, cold and indifference.'
Human rights activists have condemned Poland for leaving 32 Afghan migrants stranded on the border between Poland and Belarus for more than three weeks, calling the behavior"inhuman."
An activist who speaks Dari, one of Afghanistan's official languages, has used a megaphone to communicate with the Afghan migrants, who shout back or gesture their answers. Wartecka told the Associated Press that Polish border guards have run sirens and set up vans to interrupt the communications.
Interior Minister Mariusz Kaminski, speaking alongside Morawiecki, said a state of emergency would not have much of an effect on the local population but would impose limits on outsiders in an area about 3 kilometers wide next to the border. "We have to take into account various types of provocations. It is about the safety of our residents," he said.
Poland has deployed hundreds of soldiers to reinforce border guards and has been installing a tall barbed wire barrier.
