Around 10,000 migrants and refugees are living in inhumane conditions in Italy because of inadequate reception policies, says Doctors Without Borders, known by the French acronym MSF (Medecins Sans Frontieres), in a new report.

Refugees and migrants live in informal settlements and have limited access to basic services. MSF calls on national and local authorities to ensure that all migrants and refugees in Italy have access to medical care, shelter, food and clean water for the entire period that they are in Italy, regardless of their legal status.
