Eye problems, like many other health issues in Somalia, often go untreated. Internal conflict, a dilapidated healthcare system, and chronic poverty all take a serious toll on people’s ability to access healthcare. MSF and the Al-Nur Foundation ran an eye surgery camp, to give hundreds of Somali’s back their sight. In March 2011, they screened 3,137 people and operated on 486. Over 1,100 others received eye drops and glasses.
