The route from Iraq to Belarus: How are migrants getting to Europe?
2021-10-29
[DW] Notwithstanding the risks of embarking on a journey fraught with dangers and even death, scores of migrants colonists are choosing to put their destinies in the hands of local smugglers in Iraq to get into the EU via Belarus.

To put it into perspective: Since the beginning of October, there have been 11,300 attempts to illegally enter Polish territory from Belarus. So far this year, around 23,000 such attempts have been registered. From there, many make their way to the German border. Three German states border Poland: Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Saxony. Border police say there have been around 6,000 illegal crossings so far this year.
