YOGYKARTA, Indonesia - "Hospitals are filled beyond capacity with people lining up outside the doors and stacked in parking lots," according to OBI's Indonesia Director Mark McClendon, "thousands are reported dead and tens of thousands wounded."

McClendon is on the ground at the site of the Saturday's catastrophic quake in Yogykarta, Indonesia. Operation Blessing has flown in an advanced medical team to support the overflow of victims at surrounding hospitals.

In addition, a convoy of trucks transporting supplies and medical aid, including three Operation Blessing ambulances, are in route to the devastated area.

An additonal team of 35 doctors will arrive Sunday morning.

"Our immediate focus as first-responders is to provide support to overworked hospitals and go to outlying areas to treat critically injured patients," states Bill Horan, Operation Blessing Presdient.
