Additional Information / Shotlist Script: Agok violence on the move
Zélie Antier | Project Coordinator

Intro Text on Screen
Abyei is contested territory located between Sudan and South Sudan. Since inter communal violence broke out two years ago, MSF has been supporting the Ministry of Health in Abyei in Ameth Bek hospital by providing lifesaving emergency care for the population most in needs.

Intro ITW Zelie
00:29
In the recent months, we've observed a surge of intercommunal violence and its consequences on the population.

00:38
The population has suffered loss of lives, serious injuries, loss of properties, displacement.

Activities Text on Screen
These violent clashes and their medical consequences have stretched MSF teams and resources.

Activities ITW Zelie
00:11
In January alone, we've received more than 100 casualties, mainly gunshot wounded in need of surgery, and we've been activating our mass casualty response plan multiple times.

00:35
As a consequence, we've upgraded our surgical capacity to be able to respond to the medical need of the population.

00:46
At the same time, MSF has lost two of its staff members in Abyei, although it was out of duty.

Activities Text on Screen
In addition to that, MSF teams have been witnessing a movement of population towards Abyei. Since the war started in Sudan, more than 12,000 returnees and refugees have arrived.

Conclusion

00:11
To ensure the continuity of the medical humanitarian response.
