YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAustralia has sent two square meters (22 square feet) of skin to help survivors of New Zealand's volcanic eruption.
Donor Tissue Bank of Victoria and the Organ and Tissue donation service in Sydney sent 10,000 square centimetres each.
Head of Donor Tissue Bank Victoria Stefan Paniatowski said donated skin is predominantly used for patients who have the most life threatening burns.
"Usually, if they have more than 50% burn over their body, there isn't enough of their own skin to transplant on to the burn wounds," he said.
New Zealand medical staff were working around the clock to treat the injured survivors in hospital burns units.
