Doruma Airport , "not an easy landing", Getting aid into Doruma is difficult. Traders have been killed on the road into Doruma so aid has to be flown in. UNICEF and Solidarités flew in twenty five tons of tarpaulins, water containers and blankets to protect the thousands of people in the open from respiratory and water borne diseases. The dirt airstrip is not the best there is in Congo. There is only one car in the town, it belongs to the nuns, and it was being repaired ahead of a visit by a delegation of eight bishops. So to move the twenty five tons into town the local Crisis Committee called up teams of youth on bicycles.
