Seven members of Delaware’s medical relief team have arrived in Nepal.

They will be delivering medical supplies and treating patients as the country attempts to emerge from the devastating earthquake that has left more than 79-hundred dead.

Another 17-thousand were injured when two weeks ago the quake hit the mountainous region.

The Wilmington news Journal reports that as many as 800-thousand are without homes.
