Will Turner, MSF's Emergency Coordinator on board the MY Phoenix - a search and rescue vessell in the Mediterranean - gives his thoughts on the current narrative surrounding migration in the UK. MSF and MOAS (Migrant Offshore Aid Station) have rescued more than 1,400 people in the last four weeks - all with very strong reasons for leaving their country. Whether it's conflict and chaos in Somalia, Boko Haram in Nigeria, the constant threat of bombs and bullets in Syria or extreme human rights violations in Eritrea. These people don't want to leave their families, but they have no alternative. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organisation that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural disasters and exclusion from healthcare.
