Following a series of recent incidents in the area of Dadaab, 42 staff (one third of the staff living in the MSF compound in Dadaab) has been relocated to Nairobi today. This is a preventive measure, which will unfortunately have a direct impact on our ability to provide the much needed medical assistance to the refugees.
Two health posts out of four have already been closed as a result and some medical services such as antenatal care have been suspended.
MSF will continue to evaluate the
situation hoping that security in the camps for the refugees and our staff can
be assured. Once guarantees have been obtained, MSF can return to full
activities as soon as possible.
