Refugees huddled together, unable to reach a safe haven with their families,  stuck between an armed force that does not want them and a border that will not let them through.  This scenario has become far too familiar in a number of regions across the globe; Syria-Turkey, Yemen, Africa, and South America.  This type of humanitarian problem is present at the Belarus and Poland border where a complicated refugee crisis is still developing. Away from the traditional immigration ports on the Mediterranean, Poland is faced with thousands of refugees that have been transported into Belarus to be used as political weapons.
