Ein Update zur aktuellen Migrationskrise in Polen, präsentiert von der humanitären Organisation POPH – Podlaskie Ochotnicze Pogotowie Humanitarne.
We have been providing humanitarian assistance to migrants and refugees on the Polish-Belarusian border since 2022.
We also conduct searches for missing and deceased persons and facilitate contact with their families. We also organize funerals for the deceased.
We strive to provide substantive and material support to migrants and refugees who are undergoing procedures or have been granted international protection in Poland. We assist these individuals in contacting institutions and offices and organize material support for them.
Since February 2024, we have been operating as an association.
As part of POPH, we also plan to establish a professional search and rescue group, which will be integrated into the nationwide rescue system.
In cooperation with the International Humanitarian Initiative Foundation, we have helped establish a psychological and psychotherapeutic support center in the Jazdów district of Warsaw. It is also a meeting place for people with migrant and refugee experience. In the future, we plan to create a museum here, showcasing items found during POPH interventions.
Our emergency mergency number is +48 511 911 999.
