In Bangui, United Nations peacekeepers from the MINUSCA mission have been reaching out to residents living with disabilities, offering vital support and medical care.
To mark World Humanitarian Day, blue helmets from Morocco, Rwanda, and Egypt organized a special medical outreach campaign, making sure that those in need are not left behind.
Captain Hajar ElKasraoui, Head of Civil-Military Activities for MINUSCA, addressed the crowd with a heartfelt message: “Too often, life is a struggle, but despite everything, despite visible and invisible wounds, you continue to get up, fight, and hope. To all people with disabilities, to all those who are vulnerable, displaced, wounded by war or by life, you are at the heart of this day. This is not just a commemoration, it is a tribute to your courage, it is a helping hand, a look that says, you are not alone.”
The medical services provided during the campaign include eye tests, ophthalmology, dental care, and general consultations. Patients suffering from malaria were also able to receive treatment.
