Description
In Africa's refugee camps, having access to basic health care isn’t easy. Resources are limited, safety is uncertain, and aid agencies have to work harder to save lives.
Ernest Waititu spent an evening riding along in the only ambulance serving Kenya's sprawling Kakuma Refugee Camp. The camp is home to more than 40,000 refugees from more than 10 countries in Eastern Africa. Ernest sent us this Reporter's Notebook.
