Partners Blogcast: "Burma Army Attacks Medical Clinic"

Steve and Oddny Gumaer started Partners Relief & Development in response to the needs of refugees and displaced people from Burma. This blog is meant to be a more personal stream of conversation than newsletters allow for. The opinions expressed here may not be those of Partners Relief & Development.

Burma Army Attacks Medical Clinic

"On February 7th, the Burma Army attacked the Tee Mu Tha medical clinic. The clinic was burned along with two nearby villages: The Hee Toe Hta village, home to 46 families, and the Htee Boe Hta village, home to 28 families, were lost. The villagers fled the area and are at this moment hiding in the jungle."

"Partners sent six months worth of medical supplies into the jungle to resupply the clinic. These supplies were safely moved to another location. Clinic health workers are now using those supplies to help people form Hee Toe Hta and Hee Boe Tha villages. Many villagers are in need of food (rice) and medical attention."

"Help is getting through. Thank you for your gifts and support. Please continue to keep the affected families in your prayers and thoughts."
