After jets bombed Shwe Maw village, this 11-year old was injured by shrapnel. Your donations last year supported medics who treated her and saved her eyesight. (see photo of injured girl). Daily Burma army attacks on ethnic minorities have caused 3 million villagers to flee their homes to wherever they can find safety. Soldiers enter villages, randomly shooting and often raping to intimate. Mines are planted in fields to prevent escape. Brave medics travel to remote refugee camps and tend to horrific wounds as the result of landmine blasts. Equipping these medics with materials and medications to address illnesses like malaria, is essential.
Burma Humanitarian Mission equips backpack medic teams with necessary supplies to treat common, yet lethal conditions like –dysentery and infections, to post-partum complications. These teams travel dangerous territory to isolated villages and camps, providing life-saving, medical and maternal care. Your gift can equip medics with supplies to treat more people.
