Nepal - Earthquake Situation Report #3

Hope Force International?s medical response team is deploying to Kathmandu, Nepal on Wednesday, May 6th. They will be working with a trusted partner on the ground, who is already assessing and visiting remote mountain villages to determine scope of need.

Team members will include a Disaster Management specialist, Hope Force International?s Senior Chaplain, nurses, logistics personnel and a physician. Our team is prepared to set up a medical clinic, coordinate with other partners in Kathmandu and pave the way for teams to follow in the coming weeks.

Staff at Hope Force International headquarters in Brentwood, TN continues to coordinate orthopedic donations, team assignments and communication with key individuals in Nepal.

Reports from Kathmandu indicate growing totals for loss of life and injuries. Concerns are rising over the condition of the main airport. Just today serious cracks in the runway forced cancellation of any cargo plane arrivals. Supply chains continue to prove challenging.

We appreciate your prayers for our teams.  If you would like to help financially, we say thank you!
