As of yesterday, the death toll in Yingjiang reached 25. Tents are badly needed in the area.
Yingjiang County People's Hospital was seriously damaged. "The hospital building is no longer functional." Dr. Li Xingquan, anesthesia department, told reporters that the hospital set up temporary tents in the open space and placed more than 60 injured people. Because of the inability to carry out surgery, 74 critically ill patients have been transferred to other county hospitals.
"The hospital still has enough medicine in reserve." Zhang Tao, president of Yingjiang People's Hospital, told reporters that what is most lacking now is some disinfectants for medical epidemic prevention, which is very important for post-disaster epidemic prevention.
It is understood that the Ministry of Civil Affairs has decided to urgently transfer 5,000 relief tents and 62 tons of coloured strips from the Central Reserve of Disaster Relief Materials in Nanning, and is expected to arrive in the disaster-stricken areas of Yunnan Province this morning.
At present, the disaster-stricken areas mainly adopt the methods of putting in relatives and friends, public housing resettlement, building tents, using colored strips and linoleum felt to build simple houses by themselves. A total of 10 resettlement sites have been set up, and various relief materials are being distributed one after another.
