Iraqi Migrants Move Toward Polish Border Checkpoint After a Week of Waiting

Right now, you can observe how a large group of people has set off toward Poland.

They're walking peacefully.

Everyone has their bags.

And now we're making our way to the border crossing po— checkpoint.

And now they've gathered here, on the Polish side.

Go, go, go, go!

This is how the pressure begins.

You don't understand!

The colleagues are straightening up.

I almost climbed onto the barbed wire. What they had waited so long for has finally happened after standing there for a week.

What the refugees had waited so long for has finally happened after standing there for a week.

This whole army of thousands of migrants from Iraq got up with their belongings and set off toward the checkpoint.

Here they're being met, as you can see, by Belarusian border guards.

Everyone is proceeding to this event, where they sit right down on the asphalt.

Okay, now.

It’s getting a little dangerous to be here.

This is what the whole thing looks like.

Polish soldiers are greeting us with grenade launchers.

Columns of soldiers, piles of vehicles and special equipment.

Everyone sits down on the ground, they’ll probably beg, “Let us through.”
