All the mattresses that were here have been looted

by the rebels.

All the patients who were here, fled to their homes.

Even the ones who had a drip.

They have taken all the medicines.

00:28 - 00:33
You can see, there is practically nothing on the shelves.

They tried to shoot with Kalashnikovs

00:52 - 00:54
that broke the walls.

Then, they went to the prenatal consultation room

00:58 - 01:01
and took everything, even the medicines.

01:05 Title
MSF teams supply medication to the healthcare center in Bakouma.
When security allows, the severe cases are also transferred to the MSF hospital in Bangassou, 135 km away.

01:13 Title
While the Central African Republic falls deeper into war, hundreds of thousand people are displaced from their homes.
Half of Central Africans depend on humanitarian aid to survive. This aid is increasingly hard to access.
