Additional Information / Shotlist "One time we had four people from the same family come in. There was a dad and uncle who came in and were literally gasping their last breaths. Then we had the two kids of the family come in and they were alive but one got some shrapnel that went into the brain, so we had to manage him quickly and send him off to Aden. His brother had some injuries that we did manage in our facility. It's difficult to really appreciate how one deals with that. That's the devastating nature of landmines. You know he's a seven-year-old kid and how you see your dad and your uncle pass away, and you see your younger brother become quickly sick and have to be sent away. To not even have your mother support you because she has to travel the five or six hours it takes to get to the next facility that can manage the little brother. I think that even the most resilient people would struggle, let alone a seven-year-old boy."
