#DoctorsWithoutBorders / #MedecinsSansFrontieres emergency coordinator Will Harper speaks from #Khartoum, #Sudan (between 1:00 and 6:18 in this broadcast), where an #MSF medical and surgical team is working along with local doctors, nurses and volunteers. Active fighting is ongoing, and there are enormous needs - 60 people were treated for gunshots on the 1st day. https://www.voaafrica.com/a/7085420.html

"We found a hospital where people are really working as hard as they can and taking risks. We’ve joined them, hand-in-hand, to try to bring health care and life-saving surgical care to the people in this area." #DoctorsWithoutBorders #MedecinsSansFrontieres #MSF team in #Khartoum #Sudan #humanitarian https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/msf-team-treat-trauma-patients-sudan
