In response to the emergency situation in Nepal, Children's Medical Aid has adopted the task of feeding the medical staff, volunteers, patients and earthquake victims. Watch for our new project addressing this issue soon to be posted. We aim to feed 400 - 500 people per day.
There is a great deal of chaos in the city of Kathmandu. The city’s infrastructure is badly damaged and hospitals are overwhelmed and treating people out in the open. The government of India is sending help and there are other aid agencies like the Red Cross who are already there. There undoubtedly will be a great deal of social and political upheaval that will ensue.
Kirtipur Cleft & Burn is one of the few hospitals able to supply medical and surgical treatment. Three Orthopedic teams arrived to care for eartquake victims. One of the Orthopedic doctors came all the way from South Africa to help. Several medical volunteers sponsored by ReSurg have arrived with medical supplies a few days ago.
"Although I am heartened and encouraged by the progress of the response to date, efforts need to be maintained and stepped up to ensure vital assistance reaches all those that have affected.
