1.30-3.30 Session 3: Country Studies
The IOM reports that 83,000 migrants have already arrived by sea this year and 400 people have lost their lives trying. The movement of refugees to and throughout Europe has reached crisis proportions, particularly acute along various points in migratory routes. European level responses have been slow and inadequate and national and regional governments are straining to respond to the needs of migrants reaching their jurisdictions. These panels will discuss the public health challenges faced by various countries, across the borders of which migrants continue to stream.
