"The hospital’s ceiling was completely blown off"

Magyi Bin village in Ngapudaw Township, Myanmar, was hit hard by Cyclone Nargis.  The storm ripped through the village, leaving many buildings in tatters, including the station hospital which provides more than 20,000 people with essential medical services. “The hospital’s ceiling was completely blown off, its walls, beds and equipment were severely damaged, and its small stock of medicine was mostly wiped out,” says Giorgio Faedo, the IRC’s field coordinator in Myanmar. “The crumbling facility is barely able to care for the 50 or more inpatients it receives at any given time.” Story just posted on the IRC Web site here
