Nurses arrive in Ethiopia
Two New Zealand Red Cross Society nurses have arrived in Northern Tigray, Ethiopia, to assist in a feeding programme for drought victims in the area. Ms Jenny McMahon, of Wellington, and Ms Jacqui Quinn, of Palmerston North, will work with a French Red Cross doctor and two Swiss nurses in the feeding centres of Axum and Adwa, in Ethiopia. Axum was once a tourist attraction, now it is a refugee town with 29,000 destitute people. The Red Cross set up a camp on the outskirts of the town and it deals with victims of malnutrition, polio, tuberculosis, and meningitis.
