Philippines: MSF suspends activities following violence
Philippines
Published 24 November 2009
Following the killing of 46 people on the island of Mindanao on Nov. 23, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams in the Philippines temporarily suspended activities in the area as the situation is currently too tense to travel by road.
The massacre occurred in an area where MSF has been providing support via mobile clinics to victims of the ongoing conflict between rebels and government troops since October 2008.
The MSF team based in Cotabato is preparing emergency intervention kits should the latest event lead to further violence.
