amsterdam - The approach by the European Union of the humanitarian needs of refugees who wanted to cross to Europe last year, has failed dramatically. Writes MSF in a report on the refugee crisis.

         MSF believes that the EU and the countries concerned have not responded adequately to the crisis.,, Their restrictive policies and chaotic approach, the humanitarian situation of thousands of men, women and children even worse , said Brice de la Vingne, the operational director of the organization.
Europe has particularly raised obstacles to over a million refugees: No offer safe and legal routes, the use of force and installing barbed wire fences. In addition, the administrative procedures have changed often and was sometimes not provided adequate reception facilities in Italy and Greece. The conclusion of MSF: Europe failed on all fronts.
MSF in 2015 gave over 100 000 medical and psychosocial counseling to refugees. From the picture that patients and caregivers outlined, is a disastrous European policy appear. The organization complains about the literal limits were sometimes raised. Therefore, the work must sometimes be scaled up dramatically.,, Not previously decided MSF itself to go on with rescue ships to sea to save lives.
The organization recommends that the European countries in 2016 carefully study the human consequences of their decisions. The crisis is not over.,, We are calling on Europe to provide safe routes and stop playing with human lives and human dignity , said Aurelie Ponthieu, humanitarian advisor to MSF.
