While I appreciate the humanitarian effort, I wonder why we don't see more coverage of local Myanmar medical teams who are surely working just as hard. International aid is important but shouldn't overshadow local heroes.

Operation Brahma is such a fitting name - Brahma being the creator in Hindu mythology. Creating hope and healing in the midst of destruction. Wishing strength to all affected by this tragedy.
