Isi artikel

I was visisting my parents in Bihar, India, When I heard about the tsunami. I wanted to go to country's battered southern coast to help, but I couldn't get a clear response from the local authorities. So I headed instead to the Maldives, posted by Britain's Commonwelath Service Abroad Progamme to Buruni, an island 24 hours by boat from the capital, Male. Coral reefs had protected the Maldives from the full force of the tsunami, sparing all but 108 people. But this nation of low-lying islands suffered teribbly from the subsequent flooding. Although no one on BUruni died from the tsunami, and the worst damage waterlogged houses, conditions there were primitive, and its isolation meant that getting prompt assistance was impossible. I was to be the only doctor on the island, looking after some 1,500 people.
