The situation is chaotic. I think we've received more than sixty wounded persons already. We haven't done a final count, more wounded people are arriving in Djerabé, near El Geneina, West Darfur’s capital.

SLATE:

As violence rages in West Darfur, wounded people are coming in waves to Adré hospital in Chad, where they are being treated by MSF and the ministry of Health. At least 242 wounded were admitted on 15 June alone.

Most of them had gunshot wounds.

MSF set up a small emergency surgical unit 3 - 4 weeks ago in response to the conflict raging in Darfur, on the other side of the border. Since yesterday, we’ve actually seen the situation deteriorate.

At present our teams are really doing their utmost. They're frankly overwhelmed. We've had to discharge stable paediatric patients to bring in the paediatrics medical team to help out. We've also called on the other health units in the district. Currently the paediatric major and two or three ministry of Health nurses are working with us. Some of the off-duty staff was called back to lend a hand. But in terms of the operating theatre, we will be soon overwhelmed again, with only one surgical team in place.
