Doctors of the World UK provides free healthcare to people who've been shut out of the system. Refugees. Undocumented migrants. Sex workers. We work in the UK and across the world. In 70+ countries. We've been doing this for thirty years. We're not stopping, as now more than ever we are needed.

Story

The humanitarian situation in Greece has sharply escalated in the past two weeks. More than 12,000 refugees are stuck after being refused entry to Macedonia, with huge numbers arriving every day.

Children and babies are suffering. Many have fevers, coughs, dehydration, diarrhoea and terrible nappy sores. They are damp, cold and are forced to inhale smoke from fires lit to keep them warm.

Doctors of the World has volunteer doctors and nurses providing urgently needed medical care in clinics in Idomeni, Chios, Lesvos, Athens as well on the ferries travelling between these locations.

£25 could pay for two baby kits, which includes nappies, lotion and milk powder

£80 could pay for a tent and mattress for four refugees in Athens

£135 could pay for an emergency medical backpack for a mobile medic

Every donation will go directly to our work in Greece.

Thank you
