Dozens of migrants queue at Spain's Ceuta border to return to Morocco after an unprecedented 8,000 people crossed into the Spanish enclave earlier this week.

Images released by Polish Police show the area along the border with Belarus close to the border town of Kuznica which has been entirely cleared of migrant encampments. Some 2,000 migrants who were living in freezing conditions at the border have been moved to a nearby warehouse.

Belarus has denied the claim, instead criticising the EU for not taking in the migrants. IMAGES
