Moving Mountains

"In Ethiopia in 1984, Claire Bertschinger, an International Red Cross nurse, was filmed surrounded by thousands of starving people and with limited supplies. She had the terrible task of choosing which children to feed, knowing that those she turned away might not last the night. Those shocking pictures inspired Bob Geldof: and, ultimately, Live Aid ... Twenty years later Michael Buerk, whose television reports first showed those pictures, persuaded Claire to return to Ethiopia. Claire had always been haunted by the memory of having to make such terrible choices, but the survivors, calling her 'Mamma Claire', welcomed her back with open arms."--Publisher description.
