In Kirikhan, in the south of Turkey, the field hospital of the B-FAST team opened on Thursday. Since then, Belgian aid workers have been standing by non-stop for the victims of the major earthquake two weeks ago. There are wounded that could not be taken care of in all that time. But there are also the day-to-day medical concerns. Els Duval (60) is a pediatric intensivist at UZA, Klara Leroy (29) is a liaison officer. They kept a diary for us for the past four days. About playing children who break their arm, visits from other countries and mothers who open their hearts during naps.
