Disasters happen! These are the stories of love and loss, death,
and destruction. Many victims died in disasters. These are the
stories of how survivors live to strike back. Survivors were
trapped, but then set free when they were rescued! Some are
man-made disasters, while others are natural disasters. The
survivors of disasters include child abuse victims, domestic
violence survivors, battered wives, war veterans, orphans, riots
survivors, and victims of the terrorist attacks. These survivors
live to tell the tale after seeing a natural disaster such as
deadly storms.
For the last twenty years, Dr Hawa Abdi and her daughters have run
a refugee camp on their family farm not far from Mogadishu which
has grown to shelter 90,000 displaced Somalis: men, women, and
children in urgent need of medical attention. As Islamist militia
groups have been battling for control of the country creating one
of the most dire human rights crises in the world, Dr. Abdi's camp
is a beacon of hope for the Somalis, most of whom have no proper
access to health care. She was recently held hostage by a militant
groups who threatened her life and told her that because she's a
woman she has no right to run the camp. She refused to leave. This
is not just the story of a woman doctor in a war torn Islamic
country risking her life daily to minister to thousands of
desperate people, it's also an inspiring story of a divorced woman
and her two daughters, bound together on a mission to rehabilitate
a country.
