Hola!
I have having difficulty translating the above expression and would appreciate any help. The expression is taken from the following sentence of an article about conflict in Darfur, Sudan and the work of Charity organisations in that area:
Finalmente y dado que a finales de diciembre la epidemia no daba muestras de crecer fuera de control, el equipo médico de MSF OCBA salió de Tanzania dejando un retén de logística y agua y saneamiento que no saldrían del país hasta la primera semana de enero de 2010.
Gracias!

The "retén" appears to refer to people since "saldrían" is plural, and I'm not sure about their relationship with the "logística" etc... I can't find any directly relevant references, although this one seems to have some bearing:
"Then she and about a dozen colleagues lifted off in a helicopter, leaving behind a small local staff, a few weeks' worth of supplies and a promise to make radio contact twice a day."

In the case quoted the staff is of local people, but since in your text it says the staff eventually left the country, it seems to refer to international staff members
