Aid group 'Doctors without Borders' rejects EU funds over Turkey migrant deal

Medical aid charity Doctors Without Borders has said it will no longer seek European Union funding in protest against the EU's migrant deal with Turkey.

Doctors Without Borders' secretary general Jerome Oberreit said the organisation "will no longer request funds from the EU and its member states".

The EU money added up to around €46m (£36 million) in 2015, about 8% of the organisation's total budget.

Mr Oberreit said the group still plans to keep working in Greece and Turkey and will seek money from other sources to keep its projects going.
