Additional Information / Shotlist Vidéo 1 – Prise de vue Kongoussi (en route) / centre
Hi, it's Nisma, ... today I'm taking you to Burkina Faso, to Kongoussi, where I went to meet internally displaced people.

Vidéos/ Photos Moussa
One of the people who made the biggest impression on me was Moussa. Moussa was chatting under a tree when there was an explosion. He had to leave everything behind with his children: his house and livelihood. He and his family have now been living in Kongoussi for 2 months. Moussa is still hoping that one day he will be able to return to his village.

(TEXTE)
In Burkina Faso, more than 2 million people have been forced to flee their homes and have been displaced within the country by violence from armed groups. These families are taking refuge in camps in towns, living in precarious conditions with little food, drinking water and limited access to healthcare.

Vidéo Prise de vue lasalle / Abidina marche et montre sa maison

At the Lasalle camp, I met Abidina and her family, who had walked for miles and spent 18 months and 11 days on the move. When they arrived in the town, one of their children was hit by a motorbike and had to be treated by MSF.

Vidéo Clinique mobile
Many of the displaced families survived for months without care and arrived weakened. A mobile clinic was set up by MSF to meet basic medical needs.

Vidéos Club des femmes –
Every week for almost a year, clubs have been bringing together more than 259 displaced mothers in the Yennanga camp. This is an initiative launched by MSF to improve maternal and their children’s health. Ladifatou, a 23-year-old mother of two boys, is the "mum leader" of one of these clubs.

Since the club opened, there have been fewer close pregnancies and malnutrition has decreased. Our colleague Pierette, who oversees health promotion for MSF, is responsible for monitoring their progress. Every 3 months, kits containing baby products are distributed.
