Hungarian doctors talk about helping out in Beirut
Change language:
A Special Medical and Rescue team from the University in Debrecen arrived in Beirut last week, after the devastating explosion in the Lebanese capital.
The Hungarian team talked about their experience helping out after the disaster, and everything they have seen, szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu reported. The explosions left at least 5,000 people injured, and over a hundred people dead.
Three hospitals collapsed from the blast, as well as many more buildings. There is derbis, broken pieces of glass and dust everywhere. Everyone is trying to clean the streets, while 150 people are still missing and are searched for under the ruins. Everything runs on aggregators most of the day since the electricity is only available for six hours a day. It is complicated to get in touch with anyone either on the phone or the internet. The city may also shorten this time period to less than six hours, which would mean that the remaining hospitals would have to operate from aggregators as well.
I see so often these wonderful stories of how Hungarian doctors are helping out all over the world – and then there is all these stories about shortages of doctors in Hungary and the pathetic Health care in the Nation. How can we afford to send doctors away when we can’t even take care of ourselves? It seams like we should be crying “HELP”!!
