Mali: 40 casualties treated in Gao hospital

Street protests and fighting between armed groups on 26 and 27 June in Gao, northern Mali, resulted in many casualties. A total of 41 people with bullet wounds were admitted to the city's hospital, which the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has been supporting since April. One of those taken to hospital in Gao had to be transferred to Niamey, in neighbouring Niger, for a specialized operation.
