Numbers crossing to Poland starting to fall

The number of people fleeing Ukraine for Poland has started to fall in recent days, with 30,500 crossing on Friday, down 6.4% from the previous day, Qazet.az reports.

By 06:00GMT on Saturday, 6,100 people had crossed, and that’s down 11% from the same period on Friday.

More than 2.2 million people have crossed in to Poland since the war began, the agency wrote on Twitter.

Some of those people fleeing Ukraine have already left Poland, but Warsaw University migration expert Prof Maciej Duszczyk estimates around 1.2-1.3 million refugees remain.
