Boris Johnson’s cash pledge for Libyan coastguard will ‘push migrants into traffickers’ hands’ – MSF

‘Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has pledged to give Libya £9 million (US$11.5 million) to help stem the flow of migrants to Europe. He has provoked a widespread backlash from NGOs, however, which claim the policy traps refugees in a war zone.
