Refugee Crisis: ‘I’ve heard many of these stories at this stage, but it never gets any easier’

The internal squabbles of the EU seem petty in comparison with the calamities in the countries fled by many of the migrants who try to get to Europe.

Aoife Ní Mhurchú, a nurse from Cork, was working with Medécins Sans Frontieres, on the Aquarius search and rescue when it fell victim to the latest rows earlier this month.

She tells Caroline O’Doherty of the ordeal suffered by the 629 people on board and pleads for Europe to remember its humanitarian obligations.
