Nairobi/Barcelona – Due to the kidnapping of two of its humanitarian workers last December, the international medical organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) decided to close on the 15th of April all its remaining medical and nutritional operations for the internally displaced people (IDP) living at the outskirts of Bossaso. Immediately after the end of the kidnapping, MSF decided to suspend the presence of all its international staff in Bossaso and to rely on national staff to run the medical and nutritional activities. Their great dedication and total commitment has been essential for the continuation of the nutritional assistance provided to malnourished children in the IDP camps. “But the lack of acceptable security conditions left the organization with no other option than to finally close the project,” said Dr. Roger Teck, MSF Director of Operations. However, MSF would like to highlight the deteriorated health situation of the internally displaced people living at the outskirts of Bossaso in very precarious conditions. Women and children are the most affected by the long humanitarian crisis causing suffering, malnutrition, and increased risk of diseases and death. In December 2007, the results of the nutritional survey carried out by MSF showed an alarming high level (27.2 %) of global acute malnutrition with 9.4 % severe acute malnutrition, all of these figures above emergency thresh ...
