Dissertation

I am working on my dissertation, as some of you know. Well, the topic is a review of the evidence on how gender –sensitive (or women- sensitive) humanitarian assistance is in terms of mental health interventions. The review covers a period between 1995-2005. Here are the disasters/conflicts I have looked at. Can anyone think of any other conflicts/ disasters I am missing?

El Salvador- Earthquake
Marmara, Turkey- Earthquake
Hurricane Georges- Numerous countries
Hurricane Mitch- Nicaragua
Eritrea- Conflict
Kashmir- Conflict
Asian tsunami- Disaster
Darfur, Sudan- Conflict     
Rwanda- Conflict
DR Congo- Conflict
Sri Lanka- Conflict/tsunami
Guatemala- Disaster/ conflict
Mozambique- Post conflict
Conflict- Nicaragua
Bhuj, India- Earthquake
Orissa, India- Cyclone
Bosnia- Conflict
Armenia- Earthquake
Bam, Iran- Earthquake
Afghanistan- Conflict
Nepal- Conflict
Iraq- Conflict
East Timor- Conflict

My neurons are refusing to connect and spark a creative surge to see me through this…so tired…
