We are working here in Israel with Sudanese refugees, about 3000 in our small city of Eilat in the south. The situation for them here is uncertain and many would like to return home. We are concerned about the conditions they'll face there and especially for the children. Some of our people are from Malakal. I wrote a book, "A People Tall and Smooth - Stories of Escape from Sudan to Israel" which includes the stories of 5 of the refugees who came here. I was very interested to read your article.

The only country where polio is increasing is Pakistan. This is not only a source of worry for the local health authorities, but for international health authorities as well. The tribal area of Pakistan is where anti-polio campaign teams have failed to convince the residents to allow them to administer the anti-polio drops. Getting polio eradicated from these war torn areas will be an uphill task and will take a concentrated effort and continuous campaigning.

I cant' believe it is 6 months since the earthquake. I can't believe the amount of people who have contributed to stabilizing the situation and protecting the children that are there. I wish Unicef and all the workers all the best as they work to help get the children back to school and to some sense of normality and hope for the future... thank you to all.. Hi DO’C
