After nearly 4 hours of intensive treatment, medical staff thoroughly cleared the necrotic and infected tissue around the wound, reduced and fixed the fractured end, controlled the spread of infection, and successfully completed the injury control surgery.

It is understood that when the injured were transported to the "Peace Ark" hospital ship, an open fracture of the right calf had occurred for more than 60 hours, and there was a high possibility of necrosis of the distal limb due to the fracture. If the infection spreads, it will also lead to amputation and even endanger life.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
