“This is the ‘hell’ Poland is sending people back to, and it is sponsored by the EU,” said Sarah Redd, Oxfam Ukraine Advocacy Lead.
People are trapped in this ‘death zone’ - facing freezing temperatures and are without food or water.
They are blocked on both sides by either the Polish or Belarusian authorities.
✅ Stop bankrolling this #pushback policy;
✅ Shut down any future plans that gamble with people’s lives; and
✅ Invest in an asylum system that actually works and allows people to rebuild their lives.
