Chinese medical team provide psychological aid in Haiti

The earthquake not only leaves many Haitians without food or shelter, it also takes a mental toll on survivors and rescue workers alike. The Chinese medical team has started to provide people with psychological help if they need it.

Twenty-two-year-old Nata lost her niece and nephew in the disaster, and has also been coping with a seriously fractured arm. Missing her family, the woman aimlessly paces around the medical center. Aware of her situation, the Chinese team have offered her advice on how to relieve her distress.
