MSF treats women injured in childbirth

09 March 2011

Approximately two million women worldwide suffer from an obstetric fistula, one of the most serious consequences of obstructed labour. A fistula is a hole between the vagina and the bladder or rectum, through which urine or faeces leak continuously. The injury is completely preventable and has almost disappeared in developed countries where there is universal access to obstetric care. In addition to offering maternal health services to prevent delivery complications in numerous countries, in2010, MSF teams have operated and treated about 1,000 women suffering from obstetric fistula. Below impressions from a fistula camp in Boguila, Central African Republic.

Flooding in Sokoto State, Nigeria

13 September 2010

Flooding near Goronyo town in Sokoto state, northern Nigeria, worsened significantly on 8th September when a dam on the Rima river failed. Villages below the dam have been flooded and tens of thousands of people have been displaced. Roads are submerged, making it difficult to assess the full impact of the floods. MSF is rapidly scaling up its response, and intends to provide water points and shelter materials to these displaced individuals. These photos, taken by logistician Chris Houston on mission in Nigeria, show the extent of the flooding.
