LIFE-SAVING OPERATIONS IN MYANMAR

Dear ‌Friend,

When our Samaritan's Purse team arrived in Myanmar after the catastrophic March 28 earthquake, they found a gymnasium full of badly injured people who desperately needed medical treatment after being rescued from the rubble.

Even while the team was setting up our field hospital, our doctors and nurses began performing emergency surgeries to save lives and limbs in a makeshift operating room set up in a converted shipping container. One of our patients was a mother named Su, who had been trapped with her two sons in the ruins of their four-story apartment building. She lay there with her arm crushed until her husband arrived from across town with a powerful jack to create an escape route. …

Sincerely,
