The International community says they will tackle the issues, but the problem is where to start. There are 3 doctors for more than 140,000 inhabitants here in the Bandudu province. Pregnant women place their lives in God\\s hands as they prepare to give birth. A lot of women in the villages die because of the lack of medical skills. Sister Ria has run her hospital for 33 years. She tries desperately to teach others the correct way of treating expectant mothers and babies; That\\s not the right way. Cut the umbilical cord, hurry. Can\\t you see the child\\s suffering? After treating yet another young mother, Ria tries to convince them that enoughs enough; Listen to me. I\\m telling you 3 children is plenty. She won\\t survive another child. Do you understand? People like Sister Ria and foreign financial aid are the only hope for the women of Congo. A shocking and powerful report on Congo\\s primitive medical infrastructure, disturbing images out of touch with the modern world.</td></tr><tr><td>Category</td><td>:</td><td>Dem. Rep.

In the last few months, fighting between the Congolese army and Rwandan Hutu rebels and other militias has intensified. Aid agencies describe the situation as catastrophic, warning that recruitment is on the rise. The children go through a terrifying ordeal. Almost immediately they are trained to kill. One tactic favoured by the militia is to force the child to murder a member of his own family There are doubts whether such children will ever recover from their experience at the hands of the rebels - even if they escape it takes time and a lot of rehabilitation before they are ready to go back to their families. Al Jazeera\\s Mohammed Adow reports from Goma in DRC.</td></tr><tr><td>Category</td><td>:</td><td>Dem. Rep.
