This is an aerial picture of the clinic/hospital in Tingriti. The elevation (based off of the tree line) was about 10,000 ft. The mountains on either side of this town go straight up and we climbed a good ways up one of these mountains to get this shot. The yellow tents scattered around are where we have been sleeping the last four nights. As you can tell the hospital here looks quite nice, so why in the world would we need to set up a clinic here? Well nobody works in this hospital. The government built this hospital but there are no staff or doctors to run it! The original plan was to have three clinic sites in this valley but because of flooding and landslides we set up clinic here three days in a row and had people from the surrounding villages (Tindi and Tandi) walk to us.
