"The EU is supporting its humanitarian partners to help alleviate the suffering of people stranded at the border and in other parts of Belarus. I am calling for continuous access of humanitarian organizations from both sides to reach this large group of refugees and migrants to provide them with urgent assistance," EU Commissioner for Crisis Management, Janez Lenarcic said.
The European Commission also said that assistance will be provided through the International Committee of the Red Cross. Funding will go to the purchase of food, blankets, medicines and hygiene products.
