Key takeaway Doctors Without Borders is providing assistance to traumatised patients and displaced people in the border towns of Musina and Beitbridge.
Tensions are running high at the South Africa-Zimbabwe border, where anti-migrant violence has led to a medical emergency. Doctors Without Borders is providing assistance to traumatised patients and displaced people in the border towns of Musina and Beitbridge. A temporary repatriation centre has been set up near Musina, where thousands of people are gathering to return to their home countries.
The centre is described as dusty and desolate, with large white tents providing limited shelter from the heat. Further details about the situation and the efforts of Doctors Without Borders are available from ReliefWeb, which is monitoring the situation at the border.
