‘We lost him’: Families wait for news from Belarus-Poland border

Thirteen members of Khalid Bakoz's family from Duhok have traveled to Belarus. Three made it to Germany and the others are stuck on the Belarus-Poland border. “He left a huge void behind him,” Bakoz said of his son who is on the border. “He was so beloved among us and now he’s gone. We lost him.” Nearly 4,000 Kurds have traveled through Belarus this year, according to the Europe’s Deported Migrants Association. They are part of around 37,000 people from Kurdistan Region and Iraq who have left the country so far this year, according to the Summit Foundation for Refugee and Displaced Affairs. Hundreds of migrants are now camped out in the cold on the fortified border with Poland, unable to move with Belarus forces behind them and Polish border guards in front of them. The body of a young Syrian man was found in a forest near the border on Saturday, Polish police said. Eleven migrants have died at the border since summer, AFP reported.
