Aleksandra Chrzanowska navigates the Bialowieza National Park, Europe's last primeval forest, to assist refugees along the Polish-Belarusian border. Since 2021, Belarus has prompted increased crossings, leading to Poland constructing a border fence and pushing many back into Belarus. This response has driven a humanitarian crisis, prompting Chrzanowska and her group, Grupa Granica, to intervene with restocking essential needs like food and medical care. In 2022, Grupa Granica responded to over 5,600 calls, providing necessary assistance to nearly 3,400 stranded migrants from conflicted regions.
Chrzanowska walks confidently through Bialowieza National Park, despite marshy ground, reflecting her commitment to aiding refugees along the Polish-Belarusian border.
Since Belarus began encouraging crossings, Poland erected a border fence and people have been sent back to Belarus, worsening the humanitarian crisis.
The humanitarian network Grupa Granica marks their interventions on Chrzanowska's map, illustrating support with food, clothing, and medical assistance for refugees.
Last year, Grupa Granica answered 5,600 emergency calls, intervening for 3,400 people, mostly refugees from countries like Syria and Afghanistan.
