  • Episode 67: Syria, Gaza, and European hostility to refugees
    2024/12/30
    In this episode, we speak with Michaël Neuman from Doctors' Without Borders (MSF). He tells us about the charity's work in Syria, and how the fall of Bashar Assad's regime could affect this. We also discuss MSF's work in Gaza, Israel's ongoing genocide against the Palestinians and the fact that, unlike most conflicts, the people there have no escape. Michaël also tells us why MSF decided it needed to help asylum seekers in the UK, and why European governments have been far too quick to pause asylum claims for Syrians. ---Get in touch--- Twitter: @FleetCivil Mastodon: @civilfleet@kolektiva.social Bluesky: @thecivilfleet.bsky.social Instagram: thecivilfleet info@civilfleet.com civilfleet.com --- Show notes --- For more on MSF, visit: msf.org.uk Follow MSF UK on Twitter here: @MSF Check out MSF Crash's website here: msf-crash.org/en Michael refers to the cyclone which battered Mayotte in December.
