‘Excited my son is coming home’: SCDF rescuers deployed in quake-hit Myanmar return to Singapore

A dangerous 7.7-magnitude earthquake that hit Myanmar’s northern region on April 1, which killed more than 3,500 people and injured or missing thousands, sent the team there the day after. &nbsp,

The force had to “hit the earth running,” immediately operating without all of their communications equipment in place. They&nbsp rescued a person from a collapsed building at their next implementation page.

Col Tay noted that the group’s work relied heavily on the local Myanmar community. He claimed, for instance, that the resort where their operations were conducted provided clean meals, transportation, and an interpreter. &nbsp,

Col Tay remarked,” The Burmese people are a tenacious bunch.” We hope that their situation is eased up and, in some cases, brought to a close.

When asked if leaving Myanmar was challenging, Col Tay claimed that the mission’s urban search and rescue period had come to an end about six days into the procedure. &nbsp,

The group continued to find bodies and establish a medical facility. More than 130 patients received treatment at the office for a range of conditions, including toned and bony injuries.

” But our health installation was not set up to handle a lot of casualties,” said Col Tay,” but even as we step down our Procedure Lionheart contingent,” other foreign teams are stepping up.

When there are better groups that can meet the current needs of the group,” we should step down,” if we take that view.
