Donate for war victims: How to help people in need

We should not forget that it is not only those who stay in their homes or those fleeing to other countries who need help in times of war, but also the servicemen themselves.

Today, more than ever, it is important to help and support each other. One way is by joining fundraising campaigns. Through them, we can provide food, clothing, medicine, shelter or financial resources. In addition to material support, support can also be psychological or medical. The important thing is to lend a hand and help those who need it in times of war. We must not, under any circumstances, remain indifferent to what is happening around us.

Many people all over the world are offering help, opening their hearts and homes to those who have been displaced and are fleeing war. If you want to join them, you can get involved as a donor, volunteer or even initiator of a charity. Create your own fundraising campaign to help those affected by war. We advise you to assess your options carefully and only take on this responsible task as an organiser if you are completely confident that you will be able to manage it.

What war victims need

To be honest, there are many different things that war victims need. At such times they need security, shelter and support the most. Of course, material assistance is also important in such crisis situations. In order to help them it is good to provide them with some basic goods and products, such as:

• Food such as meat, vegetables, fruits, oil, cereals, pasta and pasta products, canned food, etc;
• Clothes and shoes. To collect them, various donation campaigns are organized or collection points are set up where anyone can bring sweaters, T-shirts, pants, dresses, jackets, vests, socks, scarves, hats and shoes. Those without shelter also need tents, sleeping bags, blankets, hygiene materials and more;
• Medicines are among the essential items needed by war victims, especially those that are life-saving or life-sustaining. The greatest need for medicines is for people suffering from diabetes, heart disease, people with kidney failure, pregnant women, cancer patients, etc.

In addition to material assistance, war victims also need psychological support and medical services. This applies not only to the civilian population, but also to military personnel. Financial support is also very important, for the reconstruction of housing, schools and other public buildings, road infrastructure, etc.

Conducting donation campaigns for humanitarian aid

Humanitarian assistance to war victims is provided by a wide range of humanitarian organizations, such as:

• United Nations(UN);
• Red Cross;
• Red Cross; Red Crescent; Red Crescent Societies;
• International and national NGOs, etc.

This type of assistance is also provided by many local companies, businesses or individuals. Donation campaigns to raise humanitarian aid can be organized by foundations, private or public organizations that share their ideas for charity through donation sites or through online media and social networks . All possible mass information channels are used to be able to reach as many people as possible to get involved in this initiative.

Providing medical services and psychological support to war victims

Providing medical services to war victims is another way to help, not only civilians but also soldiers. There is always a need for volunteers to put in the work in field hospitals. Also, through charity, donation campaigns are organised with the ultimate aim of providing the necessary medicines, drugs and first aid kits.

Very often in times of war, charity blood donation campaigns are also organized, whereby at designated points anyone can join in and contribute to saving lives.

For the benefit of people injured in war, you can get involved in an organized charitable cause. Various governmental and non-governmental organisations are involved in charity work, and you probably already know about their campaigns through the mass media. Don't ignore the campaigns to help war victims that you may come across on donation sites. Of course, always check who you are donating to so that you do not fall for scammers.

These types of fundraising campaigns are aimed at:

• Providing immediate and timely help to people with post-traumatic stress, those in shock, panic and other mental disorders;
• Providing necessary medication for treatment and prevention;
• Providing mental health and psychological support services;
• Mobilizing emergency medical teams of psychologists and sociologists to assist war victims;
• Ensuring access to health facilities, especially for women, children and the elderly, as well as people with existing psychological problems.

Donate for war victims

Organising donation campaigns is a common practice in many countries to raise funds to address problems in different sectors related to the war situation. We should not be indifferent to what is happening and never forget that war is the worst thing that can happen.

What each one of you can do is to organise a warfundraising campaign by sharing your ideas for charity with different organisations, through online media or social networks, or simply by joining an active campaign. If you're willing to donate to those affected by war, you can also contact local organisations that are organising fundraising campaigns to find out how you can help. The funds they collect are given to the relevant emergency management agency.
