Voice Out Loud Issue 23: Humanitarian NGOs and the European 'refugee crisis'

In the VOICE Out Loud 23, the issue of migration is also at the centre. Kicking off this issue, the Danish Refugee Council describe the difficulties and importance of upholding humanitarian standards, while Secours Islamique France addresses the challenge of needs assessment in Greek refugee camps. The Doctors of the World International Network highlights the best and worst in the European crisis facing migrants and the Norwegian Refugee Council compares operations before and after the EU-Turkey Deal. SOS Children’s Villages draws lessons from the Balkan Route with an eye on children’s protection in the European migration crisis. In a ‘View from Turkey’, Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe explains how it uses partnerships to support refugee protection and assistance in South-Eastern Turkey. In an interview, Catherine Woollard, Secretary General of the European Council on Refugees and Exiles shares her views on the EU’s response to the refugee crisis, the key issues with the EU-Turkey deal, and the recently adopted Communication on Forced Displacement and Development. We also hear from CARE on the additional challenge that humanitarian financing poses in this EU refugee crisis.
