CHAD: 50 wounded treated by MSF teams in N’djamena since Saturday 3 February Accessing the wounded is difficult due to the continuous fighting Since fighting broke out in the Chadian capital of N’djamena on 2 February, Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) has treated 50 wounded referred to the hospital by the Chadian Red Cross. Most of the wounded are civilians, suffering from bullet wounds. According to the Chadian Red Cross, about 200 wounded in total have been referred to various hospitals in the past 48 hours. Continuous fighting is making it very hard to access the injured and take them to medical structures. An MSF team of 15 people is currently working in the hospital in N’djamena, including a surgeon, an anaesthetist, two doctors, nurses, logisticians and the MSF head of mission. MSF is organising a charter plane from Bangui (Central African republic) with medical and surgical material (a kit for 50 surgical interventions and a kit from treating 150 wounded) to reinforce the hospitals in Ndjamena .
