There are many activities that occur during these disaster situations and many aid workers who work very hard, never having the opportunity to tell their stories. We know that when the media leaves, so does the world's attention. We have seen this so many times, in many different situations. By keeping the stories alive, the public interest, hopefully, will also stay alive; and they public will not forget about the suffering that is still occurring.
Today we will do an assessment for the need of a field hospital in an outlying area. A new road just opened up and therewere people who arrived yesterday with untreated wounds from 6 weeks ago.
Sometimes it can be frustrating working in these situations. Sometimes it feels like one step forward, two steps back. But we still keep trudging forward.
