Underground network of volunteers helps migrants on Poland-Belarus border

An underground network of volunteers has developed around the Poland-Belarus border to help those who’ve managed to cross and are in dire need.

Monika, who only wants to be identified by her first name, told Sky News: “It [the green light] means that everyone in need may knock on our door and help will be provided – with hot tea, a warm meal, a change of clothes.”
