Poland
MSF teams in Poland respond to the arrival of refugees, including those who arrived at the Belarus border in late 2021 and now following war in Ukraine.
We are currently scaling up our response to the needs of people arriving in large numbers from Ukraine, after Russian attacks on the country started in late February 2022.
Between October 2021 and early January 2022, MSF tried to provide assistance to people arriving from Belarus. However, despite small assistance provided to local organisations, we were forced to leave following refusal from the authorities to access the border area.
