1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,680
There has been intense fighting
in the city of Goma.

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,480
The roads around Goma
are now

3
00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:07,960
where needs are most urgent and fundamental.

Dr Josué Badiambila
Director HGR Nyiragongo

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:09,760
Everything is destroyed.

5
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:11,120
Everything must be rebuilt.

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,120
On Wednesday morning
we arrived at the boom gate

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,520
which marks the border between Goma
and Rwanda.

8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,840
And an MSF team
came by car to pick us up.

9
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,160
You can still see body bags
with the dead inside,

10
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,520
in the city of Goma,
that have not been collected.

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,760
Our first strategy

12
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:42,040
was to support hospitals
to provide care to the wounded.

13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,040
We're at Virunga hospital.

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,960
We've come to help.

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,840
They called us because they're
completely overwhelmed.

16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,040
There are 256 injured people here,

17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,200
and already 56 bodies in the morgue.

18
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,240
What we see is that the displaced people
who were in the city of Goma

19
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,600
have left on the main roads,
either still close to Goma

20
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,800
or heading much further away
into the Kivu mountains.

21
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,120
We're at the Munigi camp
today.

22
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,160
This camp too is completely empty.

23
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,240
Most people fled last Sunday,

24
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:16,240
because M23 fighters came down
from the mountain

25
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:17,960
that you see in the background.

26
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,880
The crackling of gunfire was so intense

27
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,720
that everyone ran away.

28
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:26,320
Our first step was
to follow the different roads

29
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,720
to get an overview of the health facilities,

30
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:30,200
of their level of destruction.

31
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,280
Today we are about
30km north of Goma,

32
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,560
at the general referral hospital
of Nyiragongo.

33
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,720
This is a hospital that has been
closed for 3 years,

34
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,640
because of fighting.

35
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,400
It's only since
the start of this week

36
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,040
that the team has started to return.

37
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,800
They found the hospital
completely looted.

Dr Josué Badiambila
Director HGR Nyiragongo

38
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,720
Everything is destroyed.

39
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,280
Everything has to be rebuilt.

40
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,600
From the point of view of the building,

41
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,640
Of access to water,

42
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,120
even the bedding,
everything is damaged...

Julien Binet
MSF emergency team

43
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,760
Thanks to the assessments
that we could carry out in the area,

44
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,160
we're now starting our
support to the health facilities.

45
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,040
So today,
we've decided to start

46
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,200
supporting
the Sake referral health centre.

47
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,280
Because the small town of Sake
was really hit hard

48
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,800
by fighting for years
and it's a strategic point

49
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,960
as it is at the crossroad
of several roads.

50
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,120
All the displaced people leaving Goma,

51
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,360
whether they go to Masisi,
Mweso or Minova,

52
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,760
they go through Sake.

53
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,880
So Sake seems to us to be a strategic point for the
for the resumption of activities.
