The announcement was made Monday. This weekend, the NGO was the target of an armed robbery. This is the third time in a year and a half.
Doctors Without Borders hopes to resume all of its activities quickly, and calls for this " all actors " involved to respect medical actions and protect civilian populations who find themselves " taken hostage " .
In the meantime, the NGO is trying to fulfill part of its mission. " Today, we provide all hospitalization and all vital emergencies, whether pediatric or surgical , ensures Karine Perrin, head of mission of MSF France in the Central African Republic. Activities that have been suspended are mainly primary care activities in Bria, but also on the axes . "
This suspension of activities may be badly felt by the population of Bria, and the consequences will affect first women and children, according to Karine Perrin. " The people of Bria, whose most vulnerable are women and children, are now being held hostage by this situation. Today, these are preventive activities that we can not do to prevent the deterioration of children's health status. We hope that the actors in place will present us with guarantees to resume all these activities as soon as possible. "
Women and children are being held hostage by this situation.
