At the weekend, the entire population of Rann, some 30,000 people, fled to neighboring Cameroon fearing further attacks and violence.
This comes only two weeks after a previous attack which led some ten thousand people to flee to Cameroon. The displaced are in different locations near Goura in Cameroon. They don’t have any shelter, food or water and are in desperate need of assistance. Entire families are sleeping out in the open. An MSF medical and logistical team started providing emergency care early this week. They delivered 15,000 litres of water by watertrucking, but this amounts to less than half a litre per person per day – way below emergency standards. The MSF team has been screening people for malnutrition and have distributed therapeutic food.
