Sharjah 24 – AFP: A group of migrants wait at Minsk airport, Belarus, for the first Iraqi repatriation flight with somewhere between 200 and 300 people on board, heading first to Erbil and then to Baghdad.
Thousands of migrants, mainly from the Middle East, are camped out or staying close to the Poland-Belarus border in dire conditions aiming to cross into the European Union, in a crisis that began over the summer.
