Khamisa Mohamed Hassan, Gaga Refugee Camp, eastern Chad



This is Khamisa. She is a sweet but stoic little girl who fell into a cooking fire and severely burned her hand. If she were in the USA she would be in the pediatric ICU getting intensive care. However, in the refugee camp in eastern Chad she did not see the doctor until three days after the burn. It hurt so bad when they had to remove the dead tissue. This was an accident, but can you imagine that in Darfur children were being attacked and burned to death, tossed into fires?
