A portion of migrants at the border area were accommodated at the centre by Belarusian authorities earlier in the week at a time of cold autumn weather.
Polish special services estimate that around 3,500 migrants have gathered in the area since the crisis began last week.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Monday that Minsk was ready to organise flights to send migrants back to their homeland.
