Tet atmosphere at Vietnam’s Level-two Field Hospital Rotation 7

The Tet celebration was not only a festive occasion for the Level-two Field Hospital Rotation 7 itself, but also a cultural event for international colleagues working in the Unity Sector of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS). Through traditional Tet activities, the Vietnamese peacekeepers have helped introduce and share the cultural values of Vietnam’s Lunar New Year with international friends and the local community.

Below are images capturing the Tet atmosphere of the staff of Vietnam’s Level-two Field Hospital Rotation 7 in Bentiu.
