Doctors Without Borders (MSF) announces the gradual resumption of activities at its hospital located in Cité Soleil, after three weeks of forced closure due to violent armed clashes. The emergency department and care for survivors of sexual violence resumed on June 1, while the clinic and hospitalization are expected to follow if security conditions allow, the organization reports in a note. MSF calls on the parties to the conflict to guarantee the safety of civilians and healthcare workers, reminding that the hospital remains vital for a population of nearly 300,000 inhabitants deprived of access to essential care.
