MSF Asks SA to Help Zimbabwe

Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) South Africa has warned that there is a major humanitarian crisis in Zimbabwe.

MSF medical coordinator, Eric Goemaere,says his organisation is speaking out now for fear that Zimbabwe’s troubles and their effect on the region are being forgotten.

Goemaere argues there is a mistaken impression that the formation of a unity government in Zimbabwe in February meant the crisis is over.

In a report, MSF detailed Zimbabweans fleeing hunger, disease and political violence only to be raped by criminals at the border, harassed by South African police once they crossed, and denied medical care at South African hospitals.
