Hungry, thirsty – and ill at that
For weeks, the newspapers have been reporting about the large-scale drought at the Horn of Africa. About a drought that causes people and animals to die of thirst and hunger.

When operating a mobile hospital, it became clear that many people get ill in addition to – or precisely because of – the drought.
