Migrants hoping to cross into the European Union continued camping on the Belarusian-Polish border near the Bruzgi checkpoint on Friday.
A drone that flew over the border zone captured the makeshift camp with people lining up alongside the barbed-wire fence, while armed Polish soldiers stand on the other side.
The footage shows migrants huddling around small campfires as temperatures have dropped below freezing on the border.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Thursday there are 1,790 people in the migrant camp on the border with Poland.
Tensions between the EU and Belarus have been escalating in recent months, with the EU accusing Lukashenko of deliberately directing migrants over the border in response to sanctions imposed by the EU, a claim which he denies.
