“I’m at the Al Mawasi clinic, where Doctors Without Borders provides primary healthcare.
More of 800,000 people They moved in the city of Rafa and now they are settled in this area of Al Mawasi. The situation remains critical; Many people are crowded into makeshift camps. We had to increase the space at the Al Mawasi clinic where we are providing primary care for more than 600 people per day. More than 200 people They are coming to the clinic to mental health problems.
LOOK: The ICJ demands that Israel “stop” its military operation in Rafah due to the risk of genocide
Rafah border crossing remains closed. supplies for humanitarian activities They’re not coming, the rotation from our team from our colleagues it’s not possible fluidly and the security situation remains complex. People are still afraid, the population lives in places with inhumane conditions. Our patients come here in search of health, primary care and psychological support.
Children with injuries and delays in receiving care
We are seeing cases of children with injuries, like the case of Rúa that we saw yesterday. Street is a 6-year-old girl who arrived with a head injury because of a bullet that hit your head. As he had to travel many times, he was unable to go to a primary care center sooner to treat that wound.
Fortunately, yesterday, after many travels, Roha arrived here [a la clínica de MSF en Al Mawasi] and our medical team was able to treat her. This girl will be able to continue coming to our clinic to heal her head wound.
Another case is that of Bilal that we saw today. Bilal and his mother had to leave Rafah after evacuation orders by Israeli Forces in the area where they lived.
In this movementwith the rush, running and while leaving everything behind, Bilal suffered a leg injury and, only today, several days after we settled in these camps around us, were they able to come and heal the wound.
MSF teams treated Bilal’s wound, an injury caused by having to flee and having to settle in places where there is no drinking waterwhere there is no service sanitation and there is not electricity.
This is what our teams see every day. We are helping a population that is going through a painful situation, we work day and night, we can’t take it.
We need a ceasefire“We need to work in a safe space because only then can we provide quality care to these people.”
