A Chinese rescue team is already in Burmese territory. Russia, Malaysia and Singapore have also sent planes loaded with supplies and personnel, and from India have left several ships with 40 tons of humanitarian aid. In addition, it is expected that 17 ocha trucks arrive today with medical and refuge supplies to deal with the current scarcity of medicines, anesthetics and emergency blood reserves.
