press releaseOn 21 November 2021, a healthcare centre supported by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in Foube, Barsalogho department, in the Centre-North region of Burkina Faso, was burnt down. Mamadou Diarra, head of mission for Médecins Sans Frontières in Burkina Faso, responds to the latest attack with the following quote:"We are shocked by this news and alarmed by this situation in the Centre-North region of Burkina Faso, as in other parts of the country. The violence continues to increase daily in Burkina Faso, trapping the Burkinabe people a little more each day, which is unacceptable." MSF is working in Burkina Faso since 1995 and its teams are currently operating in five regions in Burkina Faso, providing primary and secondary healthcare to displaced people and host communities. In some areas, MSF logistics teams are also providing free clean water to people by rehabilitating old boreholes or building new ones.
