Claire Bertschinger – a 30year old British field nurse in Ethiopia whose interview with BBC’s Michael Buerk, inspired Bob Geldof to set up Live Aid in 1984. With only so much food to provide meals for hundreds of children in the International Red Cross centre in Mekele, it was left to her to select which children would go into the camp and those that did not.
