Kyrgyzstan-Tajikistan clashes: Rebuilding homes, schools and hospitals vital in restoring normality

Violent clashes, including exchanges of fire, took place between Kyrgyz and Tajik armed forces in late April this year, displacing at least 30,000 people in Batken and Leilek districts of Kyrgyzstan. Many have returned since, but others still remain displaced. The clashes left many in shock who suddenly found their normal lives violently disrupted. Immediately after the clashes, MSF teams started providing basic health care and psychosocial consultations to affected populations.

After four months of addressing critical needs, MSF is now phasing its activities. But reconstruction needs still remain including the need to rebuild schools and hospitals that were destroyed during the clashes.
