Oshewa Kudze: SF Medical Center
The commander of medical care in Mozambique's refugee camps explains the problems of displaced refugees. Because of the heightened political turmoil, refugee camps in surrounding areas such as Rhodesia, Zimbabwe are being overpopulated. The commander explains that Mozambique's numbers in camps are rapidly increasing due to displaced people joining their camps. Population is passing 150,000 and people in crowded camps make medical care difficult. Threats of an epidemic such as typhoid can create a massive danger and vaccines are not being provided efficiently. Along with this current struggle, the commander explains the past injustices the Rhodesian army was doing to innocent refugees. Injustices like US supplied napalm, infecting drinking water and just providing the vaccination to white Africans, killing 700 in one camp, and poisoning crops.
