The downpour in Dublin is so torrential that the Luas driver just came over the intercom to say "Jaysus folks"

Hi, I’m Rieke, a physio from Ireland. I just finished a 6-week deployment to Gaza with the @icrc.org. For the next 3 days, I'll post about my experiences at the Red Cross Field Hospital.

That was a very enjoyable evening.
