[Photo/Agencies] Community workers help fill in the gaps amid shortages of vital supplies Shortages of medical supplies and equipment in Myanmar have kept workers with a community group busy doing what they can to help people amid soaring COVID-19 infections. Zaw Win Khaing, the head of We Love Yangon, said the nongovernmental organization has been working especially hard in recent weeks. "We are sharing our oxygen supply and other medical equipment, including oxygen concentrators, with the patients," said Zaw Win Khaing, the founder and general secretary of the group based in the country's biggest city. He said the shortages of medical resources are making it more difficult for the authorities to cope with the current phase of the outbreak.
