I also wonder if the typhoid, cholera, and other infection risk is too great as well.
that is terrible.

or sitting there watching other people getting picked as you sit their with your elderly parents and your children. your child who hasn't had anything to eat and is crying because they want to go home.

that is heartbreaking.
