The survivors were lying on the tent and the doctors used vodka to wash their wounds because they were running out alcohol and other medical facilities.

"We have run out of IVs and IV needles and IV fluids," said Dr. Mark Hyman of Partners in Health. "We've run out of surgical supplies. We have to wash with vodka and we have to operate with hacksaws because we don't have enough operating tools,"abs-cbn reported.
