Now, 68% of the country live in poverty and a health emergency is raging. This report follows the doctors and patients caught in the middle of its welfare crisis. In a Dili clinic, the corridors are lined with waiting patients. Many have diseases Westerners thought consigned to history. Most suffer from malnutrition and an overwhelming proportion are children. For a country rich in resources, the emergency is shocking, even to the aid workers working there. "There is no access to anything near adequate healthcare", says Dr Murphy, an American who left Iowa for East Timor 16 years ago. For Dr Goncalves, a local doctor, the fight is a personal one. "Two of my brothers died before they were 3. Both of them died of diarrhoea".

Top Morten Harket, East Timor

Sandalwood trees are evergreen
Cut them down
Plant coffee beans
Build no schools
Construct no roads
Mark them as fools
Let ignorance rule
Leave them stranded on their island
Treat them to the tune of silence
Red is the cross that covers out shame
Every Kingdom, every land
Has it's heart in the common man
Silently the tide shifts the sand
Bury my heart on East-Timor
In coral sands
On golden shores
Buried are those
Who lived their lives
No place to hide for
Father and child
Leave them stranded on their island
Treat them to the tune of silence
We shake the hands that kill and forgive
Every Kingdom, every land
Has its heart in the common man
Silently the tide shifts the sand
Bury my heart on East-Timor
On barren graves
Where flowers won't grow
Blooms our Red cross lovingly
This nightingale deed
So we can be free
Stranded on their island
This army of the silent
We toast our own goodwill and forget
Every kingdom, every land
Has its heart in the common man
