Fatshimetrie: an urgent call for health assistance for the displaced in Goma
The call for help launched by the Fatshimetrie organization resonates as a humanitarian emergency in the Goma region, where thousands of displaced people have fled attacks by M23 rebels to seek refuge in the outskirts of the city. As the world celebrates World Health Day, it is crucial to remember that these displaced men, women and children live in precarious conditions, struggling to access essential health services.
The situation of displaced people in Goma is particularly alarming. Having fled the violence in the Sake area, these populations now find themselves faced with limited access to basic health care. In this context of humanitarian crisis, it is imperative that emergency measures are taken to ensure the provision of essential medical services to these vulnerable populations.
The Fatshimetrie organization is sounding the alarm on the need for immediate health assistance for the displaced people of Goma. Living conditions in the camps are unsanitary, exposing populations to an increased risk of illness and health complications. Faced with this critical situation, it is essential to intensify efforts to guarantee access to quality care and vital medicines for these displaced people.
World Health Day should serve as a reminder to the entire international community of the importance of protecting the health of vulnerable populations in situations of conflict and displacement. The displaced people of Goma are in desperate need of adequate health assistance to prevent the spread of disease and to ensure their general well-being.
On this symbolic day dedicated to health, it is essential to respond to Fatshimetrie’s urgent call for increased health assistance to the displaced people of Goma. This issue should not go unnoticed and requires immediate and concerted action by the international community to protect the health and dignity of these deprived populations.
