Eastern Burkina Faso: Out of sight, people suffer from violence, diseases and lack of water

In the villages of Burkina Faso’s eastern region, killings, abductions and looting are now a regular occurrence. Out of sight, vulnerable communities endure enormous hardship. Amid conflict, poverty and recurrent epidemics, tens of thousands of people have limited access to basic services, including healthcare, and live in fear of violent attacks and shortages of food and water. MSF has been supporting the health centers in the eastern region since 2019, has set up a network of community health workers, supported IDPs and improved access to water for displaced and host communities.
