MSF has been carrying out approximately 4,000-5,000 consultations per week at the airport where around 40,000 people have taken refuge. MSF is running a 60-bed clinic and three health posts. Teams are primarily providing dressing for wounds, abscesses and burns, and treating respiratory tract infections and malaria. They are also assisting deliveries, providing newborn care, treatment for malnutrition and referring medical and surgical emergencies to hospital facilities in the city. MSF is carrying out around 5.000 consultations per week. In the first two months of 2014, MSF treated more than 530 patients for violence-related wounds.
As the rainy season approaches, conditions in the camp are likely to get worse. MSF is providing water and sanitation services including the construction of 216 latrines and supplying up to a total of 600 cubic metres of water a day.
