The war-torn city of Marawi in Mindanao is a picture of devastated houses and buildings, deserted streets and traumatized civilians, and is the reason why many nations have extended a helping hand to rebuild this city to its former glory by donating in cash as well as medical equipment and supplies like a hospital bed.
If you remember correctly, Marawi was the center of battle between the Philippine armed forces and the Maute group which is inspired by the Islamic State terrorists. The war lasted for months and left the prospering city in ruins, in terrible need of medical support even for supplies as common as the Terumo syringe disposable.
Many families were displaced and a number of people from both groups were killed in the battle. And in order for families to rebuild their lives as well as the city, the Philippine government is doing all it can to help.
It’s a good thing allied countries and friendly neighbors are willing to assist our country and have already lent so much in cash and in kind, from food to health equipment like an oxygen tank and regulator.
Building Marawi and its People Up
The city of Marawi is in dire need of assistance even after months of having the battle won over the terrorists. Medical supplies like gauze pad sterile for treating wounds are scarce. And medicines are still lacking.
However, there’s been an outpouring of support for the city and the victims, which is why many needs and supplies are being delivered there every day. If it was quite hard to get the goods in the city before, ease of transport is being experienced now, even for large supplies like the baby bassinet stand. Military personnel are guarding the city and the neighboring places day in and day out.
Even though, sickness is still rampant since families have stayed in evacuation centers for quite a while, these are slowly being eradicated. With the arrival of health monitoring equipment like the digital BP Omron and ear thermometer, as well as the needed medicines, the people of Marawi are now standing up and making the most of what’s left of their beloved city.
