Jalozai camp: a living cemetery

For nearly seven months, MSF was the only international NGO active there. Our staff saw over 52,000 patients including 15,000 five year-olds, helped deliver more than 350 babies and cared for over 4,000 malnourished children, pregnant and breast-feeding women. Yet despite this huge effort, Jalozai became a symbol both of the suffering of the Afghan population and of the lack of support from the international community towards Pakistan.
