FR

Location: Tiné, Tchad

Mahanat est un enfant blessé
par une attaque des Forces de soutien rapide
contre le camp de Zamzam
dans le Darfour du Nord, au Soudan.

Une explosion à son domicile
a tué son père et l'a amputé de la main.

Notre équipe médicale
nous parle du cas de Mahanat.

Interview: Abamé MAHAMAT Assistant du coordinateur médical

1
00:00:17,820 --> 00:00:21,580
L'enfant et sa maman ont quitté
Tawila, (Soudan), pour Tiné.

2
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,120
Arrivé, il a été reçu

3
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,640
par notre équipe
de la clinique mobile.

4
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:26,720
Il a bénéficié

5
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,440
d'une radiographie du bras

6
00:00:28,580 --> 00:00:30,140
qui a mis en évidence

7
00:00:30,140 --> 00:00:32,100
l'amputation de la main.

8
00:00:32,260 --> 00:00:34,260
Nous avions là
une plaie surinfectée

9
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,240
qui nécessite
d'avoir un bon pansement.

10
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,320
Et après une prise en charge
chirurgicale.

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:40,620
Au niveau du visage,

12
00:00:40,620 --> 00:00:43,100
nous avions une bouffissure [gonflement]
du visage avec des ecchymoses.

13
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,280
Ce qui nous a poussé aussi
à réaliser

14
00:00:45,340 --> 00:00:49,120
la radiographie du visage qui a
mis en évidence un corps étranger.

15
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,080
Donc visiblement
ça peut être un éclat de balle,

16
00:00:53,140 --> 00:00:56,500
ou ça peut être un métal quelconque
qui a été propulsé.

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,560
Donc cela aussi nécessite

18
00:00:58,740 --> 00:01:01,540
une prise en charge adéquate

19
00:01:01,780 --> 00:01:03,600
et un bon plateau chirurgical

20
00:01:03,740 --> 00:01:05,640
qui permettrait d'abord

21
00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:07,860
de s'assurer de l’hémostase
[arrêt de saignement] et puis

22
00:01:08,020 --> 00:01:09,980
de l’abblation du corps étranger.

23
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,060
Voilà donc ce qui nous a poussé
à décider

24
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,080
maintenant de le référer
pour Iriba [Tchad]

25
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,260
où il sera pris en charge
prochainement.

Location: Tiné, Chad

Mahanat is a child injured in attacks
by the Rapid Support Forces
on the Zamzam camp
in North Darfur, Sudan.

A blast in his home
killed his father and
amputated his hand.

Our medical team tells us
about Mahanat's case.

Interview: Abamé MAHAMAT Medical coordinator support

1
00:00:17,820 --> 00:00:21,580
The child and his mother left
Tawila, (Sudan), for Tiné.

2
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,120
Upon arrival, he was received

3
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,640
by our mobile clinic team.

4
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:26,720
He underwent

5
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,440
an arm X-ray

6
00:00:28,580 --> 00:00:30,140
which revealed

7
00:00:30,140 --> 00:00:32,100
the amputation of his hand.

8
00:00:32,260 --> 00:00:34,260
We had a
superinfected wound

9
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,240
that required
a good dressing

10
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,320
and a surgical treatment.

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:40,620
On the face,

12
00:00:40,620 --> 00:00:43,100
we had a facial swelling with bruising.

13
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,580
This also prompted us
to perform a facial X-ray,

14
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,120
which revealed a foreign body.

15
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,080
So obviously
it could be a bullet fragment,

16
00:00:53,140 --> 00:00:56,500
or it could be some kind of metal
that was propelled.

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,560
So this also requires

18
00:00:58,740 --> 00:01:01,540
appropriate care

19
00:01:01,780 --> 00:01:03,600
and a good surgical platform

20
00:01:03,740 --> 00:01:05,640
which would first

21
00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:07,860
ensure hemostasis
[stop bleeding] and then

22
00:01:08,020 --> 00:01:09,980
the removal of the foreign body.

23
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,060
So this is what led us
to decide

24
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,080
to refer him
to Iriba [Chad]

25
00:01:17,220 --> 00:01:19,320
where he will be
taken care of soon.
