Description
East Timorese people wait patiently for medical assistance at a Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) mobile clinic set up at a small village between Dili and Baucau. MSF is an international humanitarian aid organisation which provides emergency medical assistance to populations in danger. Following the announcement of the pro-independence ballot result in September 1999, the pro-Indonesian militia launched a campaign of arson, murder and destruction.
