How can it be that it is a crime to help people?
We connect feet, we clean wounds, clarify about basic hygiene, prescribe paracetamol to fever patients, and much more - just for the reason because no one else does. Neither the red cross in Bosnia, neither the local hospital, nor any international aid organisations.
What are we supposed to do?
Should we just turn around and let these people screw up and melt? That is literally what happens in vucjak if we do not intervene. And now we're not allowed to intervene anymore. We were kicked out of camp and even had to pay a fine for doing the work that we do the work, Bosnia, Bosnia and the European Union. We have even done this job voluntarily and voluntarily.
Are you kidding us?
In a camp like vucjak, even a small cut wound is a serious injury. It is not helped people when a few times a week the doctors and sisters show up and treat only the emergencies. Because a small cut wound develops, under the crappy conditions in vucjak, within days, in an icy wound, which takes a whole limb. And something like this must be prevented by daily, Multi-hour medical care. In fact, these people are simply helped when you clean the wound and change the bandage or even protect the wound with a bandage.
Yesterday I was at camp and I had to say to the people repeatedly: No, I must not treat you. No, I'm not looking at your wounds. No, I can't help you. No, I was banned. It was the most difficult thing I've had to do in a long time. How can i deny these people basic help, if I can actually help them, should, will and even have to? In Germany you can be charged with failed assistance!
It's puking! We're puking. Bosnia is puking me. The EU is puking on me. This is a daily violation of the convention on human rights, for which the EU has even received a peace prize. A convention on human rights, which has also signed Bosnia. Every person has a right to medical care!
Refugees too!

The comment: The situation shows very well and very openly the character of European Union. Defending rights of refugees & migrants and avoid at the same time direct political action against the EU politics at this address is not possible. It is not possible to avoid giving precise and right political names for the political actors and their servants. It is not possible of defending human rights in abstract way addressing mist and fog instead of real reasons for the humanitarian crisis we face in B&H and around the globe. I must say I am very much ashamed of my colleagues, medical doctors and medical associations, medical chambers etc. (profession and organization with enormous power and influence) for being silent, for being conformists, for pretending that massive human rights violation related to medical care of refugees and migrants is something happening apart from political system they belong acting as ostriches, acting as the violation of human rights related to health care is not part of their regular duties, duties of medical doctors. Reduction of medical profession to being apparatchik is very much shameful for this profession. Very similar can be said for all medical humanitarian organizations... At the same time I want to congratulate common people educated (or not) in hurry to act as paramedics & medics & ... for the purpose of assistance of people in need as volunteers in the field along with some rare professionals enough courageous to voluntarily do their professions against the will of politics with clear advocacy of human rights. Along with shameful politics of EU we face huge erosion of medical profession in context of massive violation of human rights. We are back in 19th century. Welcome to the hell!
