Additional Information / Shotlist 1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,033
I'm here in Bilal,

2
00:00:01,033 --> 00:00:02,266
the primary health

3
00:00:02,266 --> 00:00:02,700
care center

4
00:00:02,700 --> 00:00:03,466
we are supporting.

5
00:00:03,466 --> 00:00:04,066
And as you can see

6
00:00:04,066 --> 00:00:05,333
around me,

7
00:00:05,333 --> 00:00:05,966
the waiting area

8
00:00:05,966 --> 00:00:07,300
is really overcrowded.

9
00:00:18,766 --> 00:00:19,833
Our team came today, and

10
00:00:19,833 --> 00:00:20,300
we were able to

11
00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:21,100
deliver supplies

12
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:21,866
to keep on supporting

13
00:00:21,866 --> 00:00:23,066
this health center.

14
00:00:23,066 --> 00:00:23,600
And people

15
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:24,100
from all over

16
00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:25,400
Nyala are coming here

17
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:25,866
for primary

18
00:00:25,866 --> 00:00:26,866
health care,

19
00:00:26,866 --> 00:00:28,133
for care for respiratory

20
00:00:28,133 --> 00:00:28,700
tract infections,

21
00:00:28,700 --> 00:00:30,300
for malaria,

22
00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:31,133
and for malnutrition

23
00:00:31,133 --> 00:00:31,733
for their children,

24
00:00:31,733 --> 00:00:32,833
are some examples.

25
00:00:32,833 --> 00:00:34,900
As it's one of the only places

26
00:00:34,900 --> 00:00:35,466
where free care

27
00:00:35,466 --> 00:00:36,266
is available.

28
00:00:36,266 --> 00:00:37,166
We recently conducted

29
00:00:37,166 --> 00:00:37,833
a survey.

30
00:00:37,833 --> 00:00:38,533
It's very concerning

31
00:00:38,533 --> 00:00:39,033
that the survey

32
00:00:39,033 --> 00:00:39,600
has shown that

33
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:40,466
that many children,

34
00:00:40,466 --> 00:00:41,366
especially the ones

35
00:00:41,366 --> 00:00:42,266
between nine months

36
00:00:42,266 --> 00:00:43,400
and two years,

37
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:44,866
are already showing,

38
00:00:44,866 --> 00:00:45,766
in big groups,

39
00:00:45,766 --> 00:00:47,033
in big proportions,

40
00:00:47,033 --> 00:00:48,900
signs of being malnourished.

41
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:54,700
MSF here is

42
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,133
providing this

43
00:00:56,133 --> 00:00:57,633
health center,

44
00:00:58,333 --> 00:00:59,833
with medication,

45
00:00:59,833 --> 00:01:01,466
and nutrition items,

46
00:01:02,466 --> 00:01:03,366
and also water.

47
00:01:03,366 --> 00:01:05,133
And hygiene

48
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:07,000
for the big population

49
00:01:07,466 --> 00:01:08,566
here in Bilel.

50
00:01:08,566 --> 00:01:09,333
We're able to

51
00:01:09,333 --> 00:01:10,833
to provide the people

52
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:11,766
with key drugs

53
00:01:11,766 --> 00:01:12,333
like Coartem

54
00:01:12,333 --> 00:01:13,533
against malaria

55
00:01:13,533 --> 00:01:15,766
with key antibiotics

56
00:01:15,766 --> 00:01:16,233
against pneumonia

57
00:01:16,233 --> 00:01:17,466
like amoxicillin,

58
00:01:17,466 --> 00:01:21,600
with key ANC medication,

59
00:01:21,833 --> 00:01:22,833
like first folic acid

60
00:01:22,833 --> 00:01:24,333
for the pregnant women

61
00:01:24,333 --> 00:01:27,133
and with simple things as ORS.

62
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:36,700
So it's busy because

63
00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:39,666
here in Bilel in this center,

64
00:01:39,666 --> 00:01:42,666
from different directions

65
00:01:42,666 --> 00:01:44,166
people come here,

66
00:01:44,266 --> 00:01:47,266
also other clinics are struggling

67
00:01:47,266 --> 00:01:49,200
with nutrition supply.

68
00:01:49,566 --> 00:01:50,633
So that's why,

69
00:01:50,633 --> 00:01:51,066
you know,

70
00:01:51,066 --> 00:01:52,100
most people are coming

71
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:53,600
to our [MSF] center here.

72
00:01:53,666 --> 00:01:54,233
We have seen

73
00:01:54,233 --> 00:01:55,500
in South Darfur,

74
00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:56,633
that simple medications,

75
00:01:56,633 --> 00:01:57,600
even like

76
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,100
Oral Rehydration Salt (ORS)

77
00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:01,266
are not available
for for free

78
00:02:01,266 --> 00:02:02,466
and that people
would need

79
00:02:02,466 --> 00:02:03,033
to spend money

80
00:02:03,033 --> 00:02:04,133
to go and buy this.

81
00:02:04,133 --> 00:02:04,500
When they're

82
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:05,600
already out of money

83
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:06,466
for regular things.

84
00:02:06,466 --> 00:02:07,333
We would very
much like

85
00:02:07,333 --> 00:02:08,333
to see more actors here

86
00:02:08,333 --> 00:02:09,033
in South Darfur.

87
00:02:09,033 --> 00:02:09,600
And more actors

88
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:10,066
here in Nyala

89
00:02:10,066 --> 00:02:10,533
to support

90
00:02:10,533 --> 00:02:11,033
the big needs

91
00:02:11,033 --> 00:02:11,933
we are seeing

92
00:02:11,933 --> 00:02:13,433
on a daily basis.
