The medical charity, Medicine Sans Frontiers, has resumed its
operations in Aburoc area in Fashoda state.

Last week, it suspended activities in the area due to clashes between
government and opposition forces.

The MSF head of mission, Jaume Rado, says civilians who had fled have
started returning back after the security situation improved.

He says the organization has opened its emergency service center and
some of the medical staff are already working there.

“Yesterday [Tuesday] we managed to finally send back our team of
international staff,” Mr. Rado told Eye Radio. “So, we are now with
the whole team, back in Aburoc.”

However, he said the humanitarian situation of the IDPs remain dire
with challenges of inadequate clean water, food and other basic
supplies.
