Samaritan's Purse Scales Up North Carolina Response, Opening Emergency Field Hospital and Launching Airlift Operations
Additional Medical Support to Provide Surge Capacity as Search and Rescue Efforts Continue
在持续的搜救努力中,提供额外的医疗支援以提供增加的容量
BOONE, N.C., Oct. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Samaritan's Purse has begun emergency airlift operations in western North Carolina to help people who have been cut off from access to basic necessities due to infrastructure damage caused by Hurricane Helene.
美国博恩,2024年10月2日/美通社/--撒玛利亚援助机构已经开始在北卡罗来纳州西部进行紧急空运行动,以帮助那些由飓风海伦造成的基础设施损坏而无法获得基本生活必需品的人们。
The international Christian relief organization has also deployed an Emergency Field Hospital to assist Cannon Memorial Hospital in Avery County, North Carolina—a community that has been particularly hard-hit. The 20-bed unit will help alleviate the strained local healthcare system by providing triage support, emergency medical care, oxygen, and an in-patient ward if the main hospital reaches capacity. Samaritan's Purse has also provided two multi-bed field hospital oxygen units to local hospitals to supply oxygen for patients who don't have power in their homes.
这家国际基督教救济组织还部署了一个紧急现场医院,以协助北卡罗来纳州艾弗里县的坎农纪念医院——这是一个受灾最严重的社区。这个20张床位的单位将通过提供初步支援、紧急医疗护理、氧气,并在主医院达到容量上限时提供住院病房,来缓解紧张的当地医疗系统。撒玛利亚援助还向当地医院提供了两个多床位的现场医院氧气装置,为那些家里没有电的患者提供氧气。
On Tuesday, the organization used a helicopter to sling load food and water to twelve isolated families in Newland, North Carolina as well as delivered a generator and starlink to a care facility in Spruce Pine, North Carolina. The facility had been without power for nearly four days, and supplies were beginning to run out. Samaritan's Purse has plans for similar operations to reach churches and other care facilities that can distribute critical relief supplies to inaccessible communities.
周二,该组织使用直升机为北卡罗来纳州纽兰镇的十二个与世隔绝的家庭空运食品和水,并向斯普鲁斯派恩镇的一家护理设施运送了发电机和星链。该设施已经停电将近四天,物资开始告罄。撒玛利亚援助计划进行类似的行动,以到达教堂和其他可分发关键救援物资给无法进入的社区的护理设施。
"Our hearts break for all those who have been devastated by Hurricane Helene. People have lost their homes, roads are washed out, millions are without power, and some have even lost loved ones—so many of our neighbors are hurting," said Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan's Purse. "We're thankful that we can respond and help in Jesus' Name. Please pray for these families and for our teams that are working in some of the hardest hit areas across the Southeast."
撒玛利亚援助的弗兰克林·格雷厄姆说:"我们的心为所有那些被飓风海伦摧毁的人们而痛苦。人们失去了家园,道路被冲毁,成千上万的人没有电,一些人甚至失去了亲人——我们的许多邻居都在痛苦之中。"。"我们很感激我们能以耶稣的名义回应并提供帮助。请为这些家庭以及在东南部一些受灾最严重地区工作的我们的团队祈祷。"
In response to devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, Samaritan's Purse has also deployed Disaster Relief Units—tractor-trailers stocked with tools and equipment—to Asheville and Boone, North Carolina; Perry and Tampa, Florida; and Valdosta, Georgia.
作为对飓风海伦引起的破坏的回应,撒玛利亚援助还向北卡罗来纳州的阿什维尔、博恩、佛罗里达州的佩里和坦帕,以及乔治亚州的瓦尔多斯塔部署了灾难救援单位—装满工具和设备的拖车。
