A makeshift migrant camp on Belarus' border with Poland has been cleared as hundreds of Iraqis who failed to make the crossing to enter the European Union returned home. Hope for de-escalating the crisis, which has seen thousands camping in desperate conditions on the border for weeks, has been mounting in recent days, after German Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke with Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko twice by phone.
The latest moves are being seen as a sign that Lukashenko is now keen to defuse the crisis the EU and the West accuse him of orchestrating.
State border committee of Belarus releases drone images of migrants camp and Polish armed forces stationed on the other side of the barbed wire fence, and on the Polish side of the border. Hundreds of migrants, mainly Kurds, have been stuck for days on the Belarusian-Polish border in near-freezing temperatures. Aid groups warn of a humanitarian disaster. IMAGES
The Belarusian State Border Committee releases new video of a migrant camp near Polish border, as Warsaw says it has seen a surge in attempts to breach its border.

The EU has accused Belarus of waging "hybrid warfare" by pushing migrants towards the bloc's borders in an attempt to destabilise it.
