When Dr Keogh arrived, people had been without medical attention
for two weeks.
On return from his three-day trek, he reported the "desperate"
medical need: "We saw rows of people with suppurating wounds. Young
people, old people, everyone; the smell of gangrene hung in the
air."
He warned: "If help doesnt get there soon, there will be
infections, amputations and even deaths."
