Description

Hundreds of migrants gathered at the fenced off Kuznica-Bruzgi border crossing on Monday.

Groups of migrants were seen seated on the ground where they faced off with Polish border forces across coiled barbed wire fencing.

The migrant crisis comes amid escalating tensions between the EU and Belarus. Brussels has accused Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko of orchestrating the migrant flow as part of a 'hybrid war' designed to put pressure on the bloc over sanctions. Minsk has denied the claims.

Poland last month strengthened border patrols on the frontier with Belarus and put up a barbed wire fence in place in an attempt to stem the flow.
