Additional Information / Shotlist 1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,480
Whether you call them 'refugees',

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:03,760
'asylum seekers'

3
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:04,760
or 'migrants'

4
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:06,560
to us, they are just people,

5
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,680
and in 2016, MSF rescued over 20,000 of
them trying to cross the Mediterranean.

6
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,920
Here we presents 10 Facts You Need to Know
about Europe's so-called “Migrant Crisis”

7
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,160
These are the conditions that people are forced into

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,600
to try and get to Europe.
It's not acceptable

9
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,680
In the first month of 2017 alone
MSF saved over 700 lives

10
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:41,960
However, last year over 5000 people died crossing the
Mediterranean, making it the deadliest year on record.

11
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:52,360
Contrary to popular myth, not all migrants
arriving in Europe are young, fit, males.

12
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,840
In fact, 43% of arrivals in Europe
last year were women and children,

13
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:04,360
Furthermore, families will often send their young able bodied men
first, to avoid forced conscription into armies and rebel groups.

14
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,800
He advised me to come and
join Boko Haram. I refused.

15
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,280
So he told me if I don't become
a member, he will take my life

16
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,240
That is the reason why
I ran away from home.

17
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:21,680
The day I ran away, he came to
my place, and shot my mother.

18
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,920
Over half the world's refugees
are hosted by 10 countries.

19
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,720
All 10 are in Africa and the Middle East.

20
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:39,000
Europe, the richest continent in the
world, hosts 6% of refugees worldwide.

21
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,600
Many people, including children, who have made it to
Europe are living in unsafe, appalling conditions.

22
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,920
Thousands are sleeping rough in sub-zero temperatures.

23
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:59,120
And even those staying in official camps in Europe are
stranded, left to wait in limbo in overcrowded conditions.

24
00:01:59,407 --> 00:02:02,401
We didn't flee the war in Syria
to end up trapped in Greece.

25
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,360
88% of children who arrived in Italy
last year were without a guardian.

26
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:18,280
One tiny family rescued by MSF was headed by a
10-year-old boy travelling alone with his siblings,

27
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,800
all of whom were young
enough to be in nappies.

28
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:30,640
Smugglers are increasingly using poor quality inflatable boats

29
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:35,600
from which MSF teams have recovered the dead bodies
of people, either crushed by the weight of others...

30
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,960
or drowned in a toxic mix
of sea water and gasoline.

31
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:44,160
People now often don't get life-jackets, food
or even enough fuel to make the journey.

32
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,000
The top five countries that
people are coming to Europe from;

33
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,160
Syria, Iraq, Nigeria,
Afghanistan and Eritrea...

34
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,360
are not entirely safe.

35
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,400
If you cannot return to your country
for fear of harm because of your race,

36
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,960
religion, nationality, or
social or political standing,

37
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,760
you are by definition a refugee
under UN Conventions.

38
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,680
I will never forget what I have experienced.
I will never forget it in my life.

39
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,160
What we are seeing now is nothing new.

40
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:28,715
From 2010-15 the numbers of people
migrating worldwide grew by just 0.1%.

41
00:03:35,192 --> 00:03:41,032
The abuse and mistreatment refugees and migrants are
suffering in Libya means they have no choice, but to flee

42
00:03:41,166 --> 00:03:46,806
I've seen human trafficking. I've
seen the violence, selling of women.

43
00:03:47,278 --> 00:03:51,594
MSF teams on rescue boats in the
Mediterranean have heard horrific stories...

44
00:03:51,668 --> 00:03:56,696
of violence, torture, rape, arbitrary
detention and forced labour.

45
00:04:02,141 --> 00:04:06,461
Our experience shows that the only real
solution to the crisis is for the EU

46
00:04:06,633 --> 00:04:10,118
to provide safe ways for people to claim
their legal right to asylum in Europe.

47
00:04:11,055 --> 00:04:17,007
People shouldn't be left with no option but to risk their life
and the lives of their children in order to reach safety.

48
00:04:17,060 --> 00:04:20,081
How long are we going to wait?

49
00:04:20,315 --> 00:04:24,013
A month? Two months? Four months?

50
00:04:24,872 --> 00:04:27,346
We want to know what our fate's to be.
