Central African Republic: Assisting displaced in Zemio

Central African Republic / 18.05.11

It has been one year since Médecins Sans Frontières opened our project in Zémio, south eastern Central African Republic, to assist thousands of people who had been fleeing their villages in fear of the Lord's Resistance Army, who had been brutally attacking villages in the area. One year later, most of the displaced as well as a group of refugees from Democratic Republic of Congo that had fled from LRA attacks the year before, are still living in the Zémio camps, too afraid to return. Our team offers medical services (IPD and OPD) in the hospital, has opened three health posts in the area and provide about 600 consultations a week.
