Caroline Seguin, Manager of MSF Programs in Yemen.

We opened Mocha Hospital in August 2018. We opened this hospital because there was absolutely no access to care for the 400,000 people living in this region. All the region where we work is surrounded by frontlines so we have a lot of wounded but also some pregnant women who don’t have any access to care. The nearest hospital to Mocha is Aden and it’s 5 to 6 hours by road so this hospital is very very important for the population. So we opened this hospital in a tent, what we call a field hospital. This hospital was hit by bombing. It destroyed part of the hospital including all the pharmacy with all the stock inside. Fortunately we were able to quickly send drugs. All the rehabilitation of the hospital after the bombing was done by MSF. We also sent all the stock for drugs to be able to restart the activity. I would like to thank all the donors of MSF who gave us the chance to be so fast and to quickly rehabilitate this hospital.
