We were just finishing a 12 hour shift last week at the hospital we were running in Port Au Prince, when a man ran up the driveway carrying a limp and bloody young boy. He was bleeding from the head, just above his left ear and his shirt was soaked wet with blood.
There had been a food drop. Hungry people pushed and shoved. Fists and rocks flew, one connecting with this little guy’s skull.
Things looked far worse than they were. A few stitches and a song with his family and he was on his way back home. A little banged up…..and without the food they so desperately needed.
