Culture-shock

The journey back to Goma takes longer than it should. It has rained every day since I arrived in Masisi and the roads have got even worse than they were on the drive up here.

Today I go with one of the nurses, Raphael, and his team to Bugari where MSF provides food for malnourished children twice a week.

Hungry in the land of abundance

The violence here has added to the malnutrition. It's hard to believe that anyone could be hungry in North Kivu.

Signs are everywhere

At the end of August, MSF started supporting a hospital in Masisi district and today I'm supposed to be traveling up there to visit it.
