this is peter finlay with the red cross. we are trying to set up an operation to supply health, medical attention, water, sanitation, hygiene, shelter, all of this amongst the covid epidemic, which makes incoming aid workers extra time to get in. remember, in november2010, you got off the plane and you were in the middle of the disaster. now you have to go through a series of health barriers to just get into the country. and when you are in the country, you make a line to get on an aircraft to get to the area. now, there is a security situation in some parts of the main road to le cai, and that s another consideration, so it s just a very complicated humanitarian crisis that has been exasperated by the storm. at least 25 rural health centres have been destroyed. doctors have been working in makeshift tents.
