In Goma, MSF continues to support the treatment of the wounded at Kyeshero and Virunga hospitals.


Stephan Goetghebuer, head of MSF's programmes in North Kivu.

"New casualties are arriving at most hospitals.
They’re not necessarily people
who’ve been recently wounded,
but those who stayed hidden or couldn’t be reached.
Most hospitals are overwhelmed.

Virunga hospital, supported by MSF, is full of patients, just like the one in Kyeshero.

At Virunga hospital, there are 100 patients with gunshot wounds,
and 3 surgical units are working around the clock.
It’s a serious situation."

MSF is also providing food, drinking water, and improving hygiene and access to medical care at several sites for displaced people.

"Another concern is cholera.

The events of the past week have meant that many people

have lost access to water; it has been cut off for several days in the city and in the camps.

Cholera cases are appearing almost everywhere.

It’s not yet at catastrophic levels, but it’s something we’re monitoring closely.

The health center we support west of Goma is full

and had to be expanded to accommodate the patients who continue to arrive."
