An International Medical Corps nurse - supported by UK aid - treats a young girl injured in the fighting in South Sudan.
The 10 year old girl was shot in the wrist by unknown assailants while her family tried to walk from Malakal town to the UN base. After bandaging her wrist the family carried on and made it into the UN base where they were picked up and brought to the International Medical Corps clinic, which is being supported with funding from the British Government.
After the wound was treated, the girl was re-united with her family and well enough to be able to be discharged.

“In 2015, there were no public services, no food delivery and no public transport in our village. Together with other activists, we have established a ‘humanitarian garage’. Today people continue to turn to our humanitarian centre for help. For the sixth year, hostilities continue, but people stay. Some 60% of the population are elderly persons. Where can they go when their pensions are so small?” says Olena, social worker and head of the community centre in the villages of Travneve and Gladosovo, Donetsk region.
