BARCELONA/NEW YORK, FEBRUARY 6, 2019—The international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is dismayed by several findings of the team appointed by the Saudi and Emirati-led Coalition (SELC) to investigate the bombing of an MSF cholera treatment center (CTC) in Abs, Yemen, on June 11, 2018, and demands that the results of the investigation be reviewed and false allegations against MSF be withdrawn.
In a press conference held without notice on January 16, 2019, the SELC-appointed body for investigating such incidents, the Joint Incidents Assessment Team (JIAT), made various unacceptable and contradictory claims that portray MSF as responsible for, rather than a victim of, the bombing.
