On Saturday 14 September 2024,

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:07,760
there was an accident with a tanker which exploded in Miragôane.

3
00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:11,080
There were several burn injuries
and several deaths.

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,960
Médecins Sans Frontières had to provide an urgent and adequate response

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,320
by going there to help.

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,360
We transferred
six patients by helicopter

7
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,320
and the others by road convoy.

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,720
At the Tabarre hospital, sixteen people were treated for severe burns.

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,000
And at the MSF centre in Carrefour,
we received six other patients.

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,240
MSF helps people in need
and provides appropriate responses.

11
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,520
We will continue to
assist the sick patients

12
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,160
especially burn victims.

13
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,480
So we tell people
to always count on MSF.

14
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,800
We are here to help you.
