A forgotten crisis continues in South Sudan
After months of bitter inter-communal clashes, fighting has continued to sweep across Jonglei State and the Greater Pibor Administrative area. The latest wave in violence, which started in early June and ended mid-August, has left tens of thousands of people displaced in the bush in need of healthcare, as well as food, clean, basic shelter, water and sanitation.

Access to coronavirus diagnostic tools is crucial to the response - An example from Cameroon
Five months after confirmation of a first case of coronavirus (COVID-19) in Cameroon, more is known about the disease. We now have a clearer understanding of how it has spread through the country and the correct response to it. To reach to this point, Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) epidemiologists, who study and track the spread of diseases, have been essential. They have analysed needs and guided the response. Franck Ale, regional epidemiologist for MSF in Dakar, and Yap Boum, a representative of Epicentre, MSF’s epidemiology research centre, in Yaoundé, discuss the importance of diagnostic tools to tackle the pandemic.

South Africa: Western Cape begins to breathe after COVID-19 peak
Opened beginning of June, MSFs Khayelitsha Field Hospital played a major role in helping the struggling Khayelitsha District Hospital to cope with the burden of COVID-19. Due to a decrease in admissions of people with COVID-19 at Khayelitsha district Hospital, and a slowdown in COVID-19 patients requiring hospital care across the City of Cape Town, MSF and the Department of Health have decided to scale down and close the facility by mid-August, with MSF now shifting focus to the Eastern Cape Province Project Update - 6 Aug 2020
