This is very disturbing and upsetting, are people going to be left to freeze to death? Is there a workable solution?

This is tragic and beyond belief that two powers are using migrants as pawns in a game of chess. Of course Belarus should never have got involved in the first place, and certainly should not have suggested safe passage into the EU. The Poles are in an unenviable situation where they have to defend their border but are forced to look at the poor migrants trying to just stay alive. There are isolated stories where the Poles have been giving the migrants tools with which to cut the razor wire fences, but such incidents are viewed as hostile by Belarus, so the migrants continue to suffer, Is there a workable solution? Putin says there is - for the EU to give finacial aid to Minsk  Cynics amongst us might say this situation is only a step or two away from the migrants trying to get to the UK from Calais... |

It is quite the same situation; except for the war threat and the opposite of cold-heat on the Mexico / USA border with so called "Caravans of 100s of people" heading thru countries; not being stopped or detained until they amass at the border.
The EU should step up or the UN and create a holding and processing center for these migrants. They can build hospitals in days to house patients so they could do this.
