Medical aid, East Timor

Using the back of a truck as his clinic and local people as aides, New Zealand medic, Michael Cocker, assists an East Timorese person while others watch. At the time – June 2001 – East Timor was preparing for the first elections in its history, after decades-long occupation by Indonesia and centuries of Portuguese colonisation.
