Dozens of bodies ripped to pieces were lying on the ground and rescuers including Chinese peacekeeping force members were moving them.
The UN Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) has initiated emergency mechanisms and dispatched two infantry battalions and helicopter teams to guard the area.
Medical personnel from the fourth Chinese peacekeeping force in the country rushed to the ruined camp to provide treatment. Meanwhile, the rest of the force has also taken necessary defense measures and initiated emergency plans.
