Description
"Hindya and her wounded daughter" is part of Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Border's video-series "A day in Dadaab - 4 Somalie refugees tell their story" (http://dadaab.msf.ch/en/). The MSF team visited Hindya one year after the original videos were filmed. This is her update.You can find part II of this story here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zeUN7ByfCc_______________________________Hagadera, Ifo and Dagahaley. These three settlements around Dadaab, in a far corner of Kenya, may not ring a bell with you, yet they form one of the world's largest refugee camps. The history of these places cannot be disconnected from Somalia's tragic fate.Without a functioning government and torn apart by civil war since 1991, Somalia is experiencing a permanent humanitarian catastrophe. The first Somali refugees settled there in the early 1990s. Set up to house 90,000 refugees, the three camps now accommodate three times that number.MSF started working in Dagahaley in March 2009. The medical organisation overhauled the camp's hospital and is currently running four health centres. Living conditions described by our teams of volunteers were so shocking that MSF wanted to give a face to the suffering endured by Somali men and women there.These accounts are not meant to show passive victims. They attempt to give another dimension to the name refugee, showing men and women with a past, a culture, longings and demands.These accounts, poems and songs were recorded and filmed in Dagahaley in May 2009. We returned there last February to see what these refugees whom we had met a year before had become. These images are dedicated to all Somali men and women.http://dadaab.msf.ch/en/
