The principled stand by Medicines Sans Frontiers against what it calls Europe’s refugee shame will cost it more than $60 million a year.

Medicines Sans Frontier say the European deal struck with Turkey to take back mainly Syrian migrants who cross the Agean to Greece goes against fundamental principles of providing assistance to people in need.

And MSF objects to Europe paying what it calls African dictators to stop migrants crossing the Mediterranean to gain access to Europe.

MSF itself has rescue vessels patrolling the sea that have saved around 3 500 people since April.

The charity will keep operating because it receives more than 90 percent of its funding from private sources.
