Since then, each continued supporting the democratic cause.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For Dr. Min, 32, that meant fleeing to the jungle to offer battlefield triage to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/04\/20\/world\/asia\/myanmar-war-rebels.html\" title=\"\">rebel forces<\/a> who were fighting the army. But when the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/29\/world\/asia\/myanmar-quake-junta.html\" title=\"\">earthquake<\/a> last week devastated his home city, Mandalay, he knew he had to cross combat zones to check on his family and help his friend group of doctors again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI prayed the whole way back,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Min returned in time to watch his four friends\u2019 bodies being pulled from the rubble of a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/01\/world\/asia\/myanmar-mandalay-earthquake-condo.html\" title=\"\">12-story condominium<\/a>, the stench of mass death simmering in the tropical heat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It\u2019s a measure of Myanmar\u2019s collapse that the generals have come to see health care providers as enemies of the state. The junta has closed at least seven private hospitals in Mandalay, the country\u2019s second-largest city, that were seen as sympathetic to the resistance. It has jailed doctors and nurses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Nevertheless, Dr. Min joined a group of medical volunteers and rushed to the stricken city. Residents were clawing through the debris with bare hands, spurred by the cries and then the whispers of the trapped. Eventually, the sounds ceased. One day, a mother and her 4-month old daughter were pulled out alive. Dr. Min administered first aid. The baby died.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At the 12-story condo, there were only bodies, Dr. Min said, including the four friends who had joined him in defying the coup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt was heartbreaking to see them on stretchers, not breathing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Before the coup, Dr. Min, who is being identified by part of his name for his security, led a normal life. His girlfriend was a nurse. He drove a Honda hatchback and vacationed at a beach in Thailand. Influenced by his father, a math teacher who listened secretly to BBC radio during an earlier era of military rule, Dr. Min supported the democratic opposition, which won elections in 2015 and 2020.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI was really happy back then,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In February 2021, the military jailed Myanmar\u2019s elected leaders. Dr. Min joined peaceful protests that sent hundreds of thousands of people into the streets. The junta responded by unleashing snipers. The public hospital Dr. Min worked for refused to send ambulances to collect the casualties. So he joined a civil disobedience movement, which saw trash collectors, auditors and doctors alike boycotting the new military regime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Min and his friends began treating civilians targeted by the junta. There were many single gunshot wounds, all to the head, some in children, he said. Once, Dr. Min helped an old woman into a private ambulance with flashing lights, only for soldiers to strafe the van with gunfire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After the protests, Dr. Min escaped to a jungle where professionals like him \u2014 lawyers, accountants, doctors \u2014 formed an armed struggle against the junta. He learned how to sleep with the noise of night insects and how to dig a latrine. The unit started with 80 soldiers. It has lost about 20 on the battlefield.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When the earthquake struck, rebel groups had been advancing against the military, which has fortified the big cities, Mandalay included. Despite pleading for international assistance with the quake damage, the junta has siphoned off supplies to the capital, Naypyidaw, and set up roadblocks to prevent volunteers from entering towns and more remote areas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe military junta is once again using a humanitarian crisis to assert its authority at the cost of thousands of lives,\u201d said Charles Santiago, the co-chair of a Southeast Asian collective of lawmakers dedicated to human rights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There is little chance that anyone is still alive in the wreckage of Mandalay, although one man was rescued after five days. Disease now threatens. Unnerved by aftershocks and unable to return to their destroyed homes, residents are sleeping where they can, in the shadow of the city\u2019s tiered palace or in open fields. The junta\u2019s soldiers occasionally kick them out, forcing them to find new shelter. Food and water are running low.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe junta cares more about shutting down hospitals and blocking doctors than saving lives after the earthquake,\u201d Dr. Min said. \u201cThey are not acting like humans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After watching more bodies emerge from the rubble, Dr. Min took a break. There were, he feared, no more lives to save.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He passed buildings listing at strange angles. He avoided the growing piles of trash, walking down a familiar lane toward his family home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was still standing. His family spilled out to greet him. Everyone was alive. He held them close, the strain of the last four years overwhelming him. They talked, although it was impossible to say everything or even much of anything.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Then Dr. Min left home again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/04\/world\/asia\/myanmar-earthquake-doctors.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The five young doctors took up their mission together: defying Myanmar\u2019s junta to treat the wounded through the coup and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17734,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[2696,475,1184,97,5093,476],"class_list":["post-17733","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-coups-detat-and-attempted-coups-detat","tag-demonstrations","tag-health-care-workers","tag-humanitarian-aid","tag-mandalay-myanmar","tag-protests-and-riots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>They Fought to Save Lives in Myanmar.
