UNICEF, UNHCR, Map Int. & UN WFP on a visit

sh. After an uneasy night with gunshots and barking dots we went to the hospital early this morning because many visits were expected. At 11 am delegations from the UNICEF, the UNHCR, Map International and UN World Food Program arrived to check our hospital and they were all very impressed about the organisation and the tidiness everywhere. In the maternity they could see a baby born this morning at 1 am. By the way the mother is fine and already could leave the hospital in the afternoon. The delegates then visited the refugee camp on our ground, the preset for the toilet and shower facilites, the big new fire place and our food storage room. All guests praised the work of the Rhein-Valley Hospital and promised us assistance for the coming weeks. They will also inform the Government about this positive well functioning humanitarian institution.

Today the refugee workers not only got their daily meal but also some clothes.
