Psychological Support: Haiti Earthquake Survival

How did the Haitian people survive the aftermath of the earthquake? Some were able to access humanitarian aid, while others were forced to fend for themselves. This series of videos compares different survival tactics, from both a "top-down" and "bottom-up" perspective. In this video, Red Cross field hospital coordinator Hossam Elsharkawi discusses the role of psychological treatment in the IFRC's overall health strategy.
