Ms Siobhan Walsh:

We are trying to keep as many of the mobile health clinics as possible functioning, but there is cholera, malnutrition and disease outbreaks caused by people using contaminated water. That is why the trucking in of water is absolutely critical. Along with that, using the power of local communities is key in terms of doing health education.

In the absence of hospitals and health clinics, it is down to grassroots communities mitigating and preventing what they can. There is a critical need to ensure that medical supplies continue to make their way through borders. According to reports from health staff, the main chronic issue continues to be severe malnutrition.
