The 20th June is a symbolic day dedicated to all refugees and in the context of an unprecedented
humanitarian crisis, it reminds us that the international humanitarian law and asylum law are
violated every day in Europe. Doctors of the World ‐ Médecins du Monde (MdM) is a French
humanitarian and public interest organization, which works in the field of international solidarity and
has been helping refugees for nearly 40 years. Today, MdM is alarmed by their situation of extreme
vulnerability in their countries of origin, the host countries and on the migration routes, especially in
Greece which is a country of transit for hundreds of thousands of them.
