The UN refugee agency says migrants flocking to the Greek islands of Kos, Lesbos and Chios are facing 'totally shameful' conditions - and rely on volunteers to give them food and water. Vickie Hawkins, executive director of Médecins Sans Frontières‎ UK, spoke the programme about the problems faced by the migrants and the Greek authorities. They are coming over in rickety little boats - it's a very difficult journey, she said. "You have to be pretty desperate." We're used to this - Greece needs our support, Ms Hawkins told the programme. We have faced far more difficult displacement situations before, Ms Hawkins told the programme. "We can do better."
