At the moment, huge queues of refugees have lined up at six border crossing points between Ukraine and Poland from the Ukrainian side:     Shegeni Medyka - 25 miles (41 km)     Krakivets Korczowa - 44 miles (72 km)     Ravaruska Hrebenne - 25 miles (40 km)     Yagodin Dorohusk - 13 miles (21 km)     Grushiv Budomierz - 46 miles (75 Km)     Ustilug Zosin - 9 miles (15 Km) There are many children among the refugees, including infants, pregnant women, the elderly, and people suffering from serious illnesses. Many people stand in line on foot, not being able to shelter from the cold and wind. Tomorrow’s forecast is for rain. People do not have access to drinkable water, food, warm clothes, medicines. Running out of gas. Phone batteries are dying, there is no way to contact relatives. There is no way to prepare infant food or provide the necessary medical care. Panic seizes people, parents lose their children, who go to the front of the line in search of food and a place to warm themselves. People have no place to sleep. In addition, all these people run the risk of being attacked by airstrikes every minute. These people have nowhere else to run. Currently, from the Ukrainian side, there is no way to provide refugees with everything they need due to martial law, curfews, and threats to the lives of volunteers. This is a humanitarian collapse. We demand the swift passage of refugees from Ukraine on the border with Poland! Increase throughput, optimize work on both sides: from Polish and Ukrainian. Simplify the admission process. Speedup the work of border checkpoints at least 10 times.     We demand those citizens with children under five years of age pass through a separate accelerated corridor, and then citizens with children under 18 years of age.     We demand the creation of first-aid posts on the Ukrainian side of the border to provide emergency medical care.     We demand to open a humanitarian corridor for volunteers who will be able to transfer humanitarian aid to refugees from Poland to the side of Ukraine.     We demand to organize heating places at each border crossing on the side of Ukraine. Prevent a humanitarian tragedy! Save refugees from Ukraine!
