Context of the mission
Médecins du Monde (MdM) is an international humanitarian organisation whose mission is to provide medical care for the most vulnerable populations, the world over, including France. It seeks to stimulate voluntary commitment from doctors, other health care providers, and from those whose expertise in other fields is needed for its activities, to enlist all competent support required for the achievement of its projects, and to seek at all times to encourage close working relationships with populations in its care. The goal of MdM F is to intervene in the Mediterranean Sea throughout a humanitarian action including a “ground” and “sea” intervention as well as an advocacy dimension.
The crossing of the Mediterranean Sea by migrants is a phenomenon that has existed for over 20 years. It has increased a lot since the Arab Spring; where over 50 000 people have “landed” on the island of Lampedusa. Since then, the escalation of conflicts, in particular in the Middle East and the hardening of home and protection policies in European countries exacerbate this phenomenon.
In 2015, UNHCR estimated at nearly 1,000,000 the number of migrants who crossed the Mediterranean Sea. Among them, more than 150 000 landed in Italy. In that year, the number of people dead or missing in the Mediterranean is estimated at over 3 750 making it the deadliest sea in the world. Number that we can assume widely underestimated. Migrants come mainly from the Middle East (Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Egypt), the Horn of Africa (Eritrea, Somalia) and, to a lesser extent, North Africa (Tunisia and Egypt) and Saharan.
MdM has open a mission in Italy end of 2015 and is developing activity for migrants on the ground (South of Italy) and at sea (Search and rescue project).
