Just as we heard, it sounded quite exhausting and frustrating to work out there. My UNICEF Volunteer friend has been working in a village called Laputta where over 40,000 people are displaced. UNICEF Volunteer said the resources that actually get there are too little, both human and material. For example, babies who lost their mothers need milk, but they could not find powder-milk to give. There are not enough clean clothing and footwear for people to change. Doctors have been warning about the outbreak of tetanus and other infectious diseases. The price of construction material for shelter is sky-rocketing ($200/10-person shelter). ”
