Additional Information / Shotlist 1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,639
Hi. I'm Arnaud Badinier,

2
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:02,940
the head of Mission in Sudan for

3
00:00:02,940 --> 00:00:04,660
Médecins Sans Frontières.

4
00:00:04,660 --> 00:00:06,700
Today I would like to speak about two hospitals

5
00:00:06,700 --> 00:00:08,839
we are supporting in East Khartoum.

6
00:00:08,839 --> 00:00:11,759
Those two hospitals have been running out of electricity and water

7
00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:13,419
for the past three weeks.

8
00:00:13,419 --> 00:00:16,100
In order to keep running life-saving activity,

9
00:00:16,100 --> 00:00:19,660
MSF is providing fuel and water via water trucking.

10
00:00:19,660 --> 00:00:22,480
We are also facilitating the transport

11
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:23,760
of oxygen cylinders.

12
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,039
But this is only the tip of the iceberg

13
00:00:26,039 --> 00:00:27,719
for the population,

14
00:00:27,719 --> 00:00:31,019
who face lack of basic services in the area.

15
00:00:31,019 --> 00:00:35,359
Combined with lack of basic health services,

16
00:00:35,359 --> 00:00:40,420
it's exacerbating an already existing crisis.

TXT

We witness a similar situation in other hospitals supported by us in different areas of Khartoum state such as the case of Al Bashair and Turkish hospitals.

This shortage is just the tip of the iceberg.
