Police carry out checks on vehicles at a checkpoint at the entrance to the state of emergency zone near the Polish-Belarusian border, in Sokolka. Polish border guards, who are deployed along with the army and police, estimate up to 4,000 migrants are currently camped out on the frontier between Poland and Belarus in increasingly dire conditions and freezing temperatures.

Images released by Polish Police show the area along the border with Belarus close to the border town of Kuznica which has been entirely cleared of migrant encampments. Some 2,000 migrants who were living in freezing conditions at the border have been moved to a nearby warehouse. The West accuses Belarus of artificially creating the crisis by bringing in would-be migrants, mostly from the Middle East, and taking them to the border with promises of an easy crossing into the EU. Belarus has denied the claim, instead criticising the EU for not taking in the migrants. IMAGES
Hundreds of migrants try to force their way across the Polish-Belarusian border
According to Polish authorities the Polish army supported by the police is preventing hundreds of migrants from crossing the Polish-Belarusian border near Kuznica. For several months, thousands of migrants, allegedly encouraged by Alexander Lukashenko's regime, have been trying to cross the border illegally to enter the European Union.
Germany has recorded 5,700 illegal entries it says are linked to Belarus.
