Red Cross Rescue at Pochalla
We arrived in Pochalla , a small village in East Sudan . Again , there was no food to eat . We went to the jungle to find tamarind fruit in the trees and ate that for three months . We cooked the leaves from unknown trees which turned out to be poisonous and many more boys died . We were told to clear an airstrip for a plane to land bringing us food . In the end the plane couldn ’ t land so they dropped packages of food and medicine from the air .
