MSF Closes Two Large Clinics In Mogadishu After Two Staff Members Killed Last Month
"Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) has shut down two major medical centers in the Somali capital Mogadishu after two of its aid workers were shot dead by a former colleague last month, the international medical aid agency said on Thursday," AlertNet reports. The closure of the two 120-bed centers, the largest of MSF's 13 projects in Somalia, cuts in half the organization's presence in the capital, the news service notes, adding that the centers have treated thousands of malnourished children and provided vaccinations or treatments to tens of thousands more patients since August 2011 (Migiro, 1/19).
