[Médecins Sans Frontières] the Nobel prize-winning medical aid organization Doctors Without Borders announced Friday that it will no longer seek European Union funding, in protest at the EU’s much-maligned migrant deal with Turkey.
“The EU deal is the latest in a long line of policies that go against the values and the principles that enable assistance to be provided,” Secretary General Jerome Oberreit told reporters in Brussels.
Doctors Without Borders, he said, “will no longer request funds from the EU and its member states.”
EU money totaled around 46 million euros ($52 million) in 2015, about 8 percent of the organization’s total budget.
