Refugees trapped in Belarus made several attempts to force their way into Poland late on Wednesday, where Warsaw said it had strengthened the border by deploying additional guard troops.

United Nations human rights chief Michelle Bachelet called on EU countries to mitigate and resolve the “intolerable” crisis.
