The Diplomatic community in Cameroun (France, Great Britain, Japan, Isreal, US, United Nations Ambassadors, officials ) has expressed their heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and move forward to donate blood to over 600 Cameroonians wounded in the recent Eseka October 21st train accident. Official communiqué from the US Embassy where the blood donation was done read:

“..On October 23, 2016, Ambassador Michael S. Hoza and Medical Attaché Diana M. Vandermast welcomed to the U.S. Embassy in Yaounde the Ambassadors and High Commisioners of Canada, Great Britain, France, Japan, Israel, and the United Nations, along with diplomats from those countries, the World Health Organization, World Bank, the U.S. Embassy, and Cameroonian medical professionals for a blood donation event for the victims of last Friday’s train accident in Eseka.

The blood will be sent to the HGOPY hospital in Yaounde, which is serving victims. Ambassador Hoza said: “The Diplomatic Corps has joined together in this blood donation event this Sunday in order to return to Cameroonians the wonderful hospitality they have offered all of us. By donating our blood as a diplomatic community, we offer our help to the victims of this tragic accident.

We express our deepest condolences to the people of Cameroon for the injuries and losses of life as a result of the CAMRAIL accident at Eseka last Friday. Our thoughts and prayers are with all Cameroonians at this very difficult time…”

BaretaNews calls on Cameroonians to do more and go to blood donation services and donate blood for these survivors and those battling their lives. General Hospital Yaoundé, Laquintini Hospital Douala, Military Hospital Yaoundé, CHU Yaoundé are some of the common areas. If you are in other parts of Cameroon, you can look for the nearest blood donation area to contribute. God bless you.

God is still saying something.
