This little girl arrived today in #Serbia from #FYROM . This is what the cold combined with cruel border policies can do to your feet.

To the 27 rescued people and crew abandoned on the #MVEtienne , from the #MSF team on board #SeaWatch4 : our thoughts are with you. We know the physical and psychological impact of leaving survivors without a port. That you have been stranded for almost a month is totally inhumane.

Among those rescued overnight are unaccompanied Syrian brothers aged 13 & 17. It's frankly miraculous that we found their boat in the dark.

🔴Update! More than 350 rescued people on board #SeaWatch4 urgently need a place of safety. Some survivors were rescued over a week ago. #MSF & @seawatch_intl provided an emergency response where #EU states are failing, abandoning people to drown. Now, we are stranded at sea.
