As Daily Mail Online reported, 42 year old paramedic Caliomar Ferreira do Couto recorded the scene and said this was a first for him, after 19 years in the profession.

She translates for a volunteer paramedic as he examines the painful feet of Karim, a Hazara school teacher and diabetes sufferer who has been walking for weeks with his family. He has deep tissue necrosis in both feet and will, it seems, have to undergo a double amputation.
