MSF Press Conference about the situation in the Greek Islands.

Today the International president of MSF Christos Christou described in a press conference the horrific situation he directly witnessed on the Greek islands, where more than 39000 asylum seekers are currently trapped by the European policies. In this occasion, he addressed an open letter to the European leaders calling them to stop punishing refugees on the Greek islands and to break the cycle of suffering created by these policies. In the panel, Caroline Willeman, former project coordinator in Lesbos island and Reem Mussa, MSF’s Humanitarian Advisor on Displacement shared their accounts from the field and their analysis on the reasons why the situation in Greece is a chronic state of emergency and cycle of human suffering. The press conference was presented by Sergio Cecchini, OCB Dir Com.
