Stories from the field

Doctor Conor Kenny spent four months in Greece working with refugees who had traveled as far as the village of Idomeni on the Greek/Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonian border.

In this podcast he discusses seeing women and children being teargassed and hit with rubber bullets, and the eviction of the camp that forced thousands of people to find another route through Europe.
