are participating in the project
under the coordination of the in-
stitute.
A JDC medical team that was
previously operating in Ethiopia
is now at work in Zaire, where
many of the Rwandan refugees
have fled. The group is conveying
to JDC officials here what the
greatest needs of the refugees are
so that the funds can be spent ap-
propriately.
In a statement, the JDC quot-
ed Dr. Rick Hodes, who heads the
five-person medical team, de-
scribing the situation in the
refugee camps.
"Imagine a Woodstock lasting
50 miles; over a million refugees
living over 20 miles from a water
source, the stench of dying bod-
ies, cholera," said Dr. Hodes.
One of the most critical needs
of the refugees is purified water,
according to Hodes. Several wa-
ter points have been established
by the Red Cross and other relief
organizations, but hundreds
more are needed.
Dr. Hodes stressed that saving

a life is often as simple as giving
some fresh water or administer-
ing I.V., but that many still die
because helping hands and ma-
terials are so lacking.
Upon request of the medical
team, JDC is purchasing, among
other medications, Cypro, a
strong antibiotic which is some-
times called the "wonder drug"
because of the broad range of con-
ditions it can treat.
Dr. Hodes said that each doc-
tor on the JDC team saves 15-30
people a day "who would other-
wise die where they are." But be-
cause doctors in Zaire are limited,
the doctors can only see to the
sickest people. Two more bio-
medical units are expected to be
sent to Zaire, so that more lives
can be saved each day.
500 tents have been purchased
by JDC and will be shipped to
Rwanda this week. The tents will
service refugees who are saved
as rest and shelter stations on
their way back to Rwanda.
Tipper Gore, wife of Vice Pres-
ident Al Gore, who is currently
visiting the area to witness first-
hand the situation and volunteer
her help, spent an hour with the
JDC medical team in Goma,
Zaire.
