Arriving refugees have told MSF volunteers of the harassment and killing of civilians. We want to leave, we want to get out of here. A majority of the refugees in the Parrot's Beak region are now trapped in the fighting and have no access to safer areas. Due to the area's insecurity, humanitarian assistance has been severely restricted. Dr. Morten Rostrup, President of MSF's International Council, has been in the region over the last three weeks and recently visited camps in Parrot's Beak and Nyeadou.
Urgent action is needed before it is too late.
An assessment in Parrot's Beak conducted by MSF just before renewed fighting found basic humanitarian assistance, including food and medical care, lacking in many campsites. To guarantee the security of the refugees, which should be the highest priority, these plans should be implemented immediately. All rights reserved.
