Migrants and asylum seekers, often in a state of hypothermia and dehydration, are pushed across the Polish-Belarussian border in a deadly game of ping-pong. Their applications for asylum are repeatedly ignored. Poland has trapped itself in a full-blown humanitarian crisis event though the solution is entirely within the country’s reach. date: 2021-11-17 date_type: published publisher: Georgetown Journal of International Affairs official_url: https://gjia.georgetown.edu/2021/11/17/why-is-there-a-humanitarian-crisis-at-the-polish-belarusian-border/ full_text_type: other language: eng verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1902298 lyricists_name: Kubal, Agnieszka lyricists_id: AMKUB43 actors_name: Kubal, Agnieszka actors_id: AMKUB43 actors_role: owner full_text_status: restricted citation: Kubal, A; (2021) Why is There a Humanitarian Crisis at the Polish-Belarusian Border?
