2700 refugees get food at 50° Celcius Heat

sh. The last night was scary. Peace is still a far cry. Today more than 2700 refugees got food from the Rhein-Valley Hospital in Nakuru. We measured a temperature of 50° C in the sun! It was an exhausting day. We could witness how hard Ruth Schäfer, the director of the hospital must have worked for the past 6 weeks and how perfect the organisation is. The pictures below show injured children - there is still a lot to do.
