Very pleased to have visited again, this week, Madina Hospital of #Mogadishu, the main trauma centre of the capital, supported by ICRC for the past 25 years. Saw the newly ICRC-built pharmacy, laboratory and solar panels, which should reduce the costly electricity bill by 70%!

The healthcare system in Gaza is extremely fragile. To avert preventable deaths, the services of the remaining health-care facilities must be preserved and reinforced.
