This document discusses the EU's response to the refugee crisis in the Mediterranean sea, where dozens have drowned trying to escape war and poverty in the Middle East and North Africa. The EU has established "Fortress Europe" by making a deal with Turkey to keep refugees out, taking in just 177 Syrian refugees from Turkey despite there being 2.5 million there. Within Europe, border fences are going up and refugee camps have been broken up by police in Greece and France. The document argues that refugees deserve support and care, not blame for issues like cuts, lack of housing or unemployment caused by austerity under the Tories.

This week weve seen dozens of refugees drowned as two more ships capsized in the Mediterranean sea. People are desperate enough to risk death to escape war and poverty in the Middle East and North Africa. But the EU response is to establish Fortress Europe, doing a deal with Turkey to keep the refugees out. Since the deal was signed Europe has taken just 177 Syrian refugees from Turkey out of 2.5 million! In Europe itself border fences are Name

been broken up by police in Greece and France. With the EU referendum just weeks away politicians on both sides of the debate are using the question of immigration to win votes.
