Description
In a Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) hospital, an East Timorese couple wait for medical attention for their child who is probably suffering from illness and malnutrition. Many East Timorese civilians died of illness and starvation during the occupation of the country by Indonesia. MSF, also known as Doctors Without Borders, is an international, independent, medical aid agency, committed to providing aid to people in need and raising awareness of the plight of these people.
