The Shabindu site has been hosting displaced people since March 23. MSF has built dozens of latrines, distributed drinking water and carried out 4 distributions of essential goods. Primary health care, psychological care and care for victims of sexual violence are also provided
Over the past two years, we have seen regular movements of people fleeing the fighting in North Kivu province and, more recently, in South Kivu. The many civilians and families have mostly sought refuge in rudimentary camps on the outskirts of Goma, the capital of North Kivu. In the Shabindu, Rusayo and Elohim camps, we treated more than 1,700 new cases of sexual violence in April, 70% of which were perpetrated by weapons carriers. MSF is able to provide medical and psychological care to survivors, but there are very limited referral options for legal support, safe shelters and other protection services.
