On Tuesday, the North Carolina-based global Christian charity Samaritan’s Purse airlifted an emergency field hospital to the Italian city of Milan to help a health care system overwhelmed by the coronavirus. As of Wednesday, Italy experienced 35,317 confirmed cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, and 2,978 deaths.
Amid this crisis, Samaritan’s Purse airlifted a 68-bed emergency field hospital to Milan. The DC-8 aircraft carried approximately 20 tons of medical equipment, a respiratory care unit designed for this specific mission, and 32 disaster relief personnel, including doctors, nurses, and respiratory specialists. That medical team will stay in Italy for a month.
“We are always ready to provide critical relief in the face of this crisis,” Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan’s Purse, said in a statement. “We are going to Italy to provide life-saving care to people who are suffering. There is a lot of fear and panic around the world, but we trust that God is in control. We continue to pray for everyone affected by this global health crisis and for our medical team as they respond.”
Samaritan’s Purse is setting up the emergency field hospital in Cremona, about 50 miles outside of Milan. About two-thirds of coronavirus deaths in Italy have taken place in the Lombardy region, encompassing both Milan and Cremona.
The charity announced that it has partnered with local evangelical churches and chaplains to minister spiritually to the coronavirus patients whom the medical team will serve physically. more
samaritans purse will be attacked by sjw’s as all Christian charities are attacked and claims of the world hating the USA will go on.
the msm is the msm, it’s what they do.
Christians will always be attacked when they step forward for Christ. Since day one. But we must.
China should be doing this. The Milan garment industry slaves are Chinese migrants.
…Samaritan’s purse is a good outfit. We give to them regularly. They’re pretty open about where the money goes, and it goes into some pretty visible things, like this…
…I’ve tried a number of charities over the years (World Vision, looking at YOU especially) and caught them ALL in a lie at one time or another.
Believe me, I don’t trust Samaritan’s purse wholeheartedly, once bitten, twice shy, I suppose.
…But I’ve yet to catch THEM in a lie, and it’s not for lack of looking…
Also, we pray on it. The Lord approves of them as well…
God Bless these people
Samaritan’s purse just became one of my favorite charities.
SP was there during the Calif wildfires and helping when nobody else was.
