India sent a new consignment of 50 tonnes of relief material to earthquake affected Myanmar

India sent a new consignment of 50 tonnes of relief material on Monday to help the 7.7 magnitude earthquake victims in Myanmar. More than 2,000 people died and 3,900 others were injured in Myanmar due to this earthquake. Relief material was taken by two Indian Navy ships – INS Satpura and INS Savitri to Yangon city of Myanmar. Officials said three more ships of the Indian Navy – INS Karmukh, INS Gongial and LCU -52 have left for more than 500 tonnes of additional assistance materials.

India started Operation Brahma

India on Friday started a relief mission under the name ‘Operation Brahma’ as a quick response to the devastation caused by earthquakes in Myanmar and Thailand. On Saturday, India sent relief materials, rescue teams and medical equipment from five military aircraft to help earthquake victims. According to the Indian Embassy in Myanmar, another C-130 aircraft of the Indian Air Force is expected to land in Mandalay on Tuesday with more than 15 tonnes of relief material.

Crocodile health system after earthquake

The health system has completely collapsed after a fierce earthquake of 7.7 magnitude in Myanmar. On Monday, the death toll increased to 2,056, while about 3,900 people are said to be injured and 270 people are being missing. The two major urban areas of the country are struggling with the increasing pressure of the injured and Naypatavat earthquake. Officials say that the hospitals are usually filled with patients already, but now the situation has become worse. There is a huge shortage of space and resources, but still the staff is trying its best, even if their number is very low.

Things are the worst in Mandala

According to reports, the military regime that has been released for the last four years has completely ruined Myanmar’s health services. Even before the earthquake, the condition of many hospitals was bad, but now the situation has worsened. The situation in Mandala is the worst, as more than 80 percent of the medical staff here have joined the Civil Nafaramani movement against military rule. In the last one month, the licenses of seven private hospitals were canceled because they had hired former employees of government hospitals.

Earthquake survivor hospital was also ruined

Many private hospitals in Mandala were closed before the earthquake, as the military government stopped them from working. Now the remaining hospitals in the earthquake have also been ruined, due to which the treatment has come to a complete standstill. The visual General Hospital, run by military rule, became very frightening after the earthquake. An eyewitness said, “As soon as he was admitted to the hospital, blood -soaked patients were scattered all around. There was a huge shortage of beds, the patients were lying on the ground. Due to the low number of doctors, some people were busy sitting, helpless and desperate.”

According to the Department of Meteorological and Hydrology of Myanmar, so far 36 afters (tremors that occur after earthquakes) have been recorded, which had intensity between 2.8 and 7.5. A few minutes after the 7.7 magnitude earthquake on Friday, 6.4 magnitude afterchrock also occurred, causing havoc in many parts of the country.
