Rescue Mission: How to help the wounded during and after war

In times of war, people's uncertainty, fear and anxiety about what is happening around them is immeasurable. Nothing is the same anymore and our whole lives are turned around 360 degrees. A different mode of operation is established and strict goals and objectives are followed to ensure the safety of the civilian population. Roads are blocked, a curfew is imposed and measures have to be strictly adhered to. All this is leading to chaos and fear among the population. We must also add the shortage of certain products, such as food, medicines and other necessities. The government and the security services are doing everything possible to minimise the number of casualties and are making sure that the necessary resources are supplied.

In addition to the civilian population, the soldiers who are on the front line of the war also need assistance, which can be in the form of weapons, medical services, psychological and humanitarian aid. Let us look more specifically at how we can help people affected by war.

What is aid for the victims of war and after war?

Organising rescue missions can help people affected during and after war a lot. Aid consists of providing humanitarian or social assistance, medical services, psychological support or fundraising to rebuild housing and public buildings, road infrastructure, etc.

Humanitarian aid

Humanitarian assistance during and after war consists of the provision of temporary or permanent shelter and various necessities, goods and products. During a large-scale war, many organizations organize rescue missions by launching charity campaigns to collect the material resources needed by the victims in the form of food, clothing, shoes, blankets, medicines, personal hygiene materials, first aid kits and other necessities. In places where residential buildings have been destroyed and people need shelter, tents or vans are being provided to temporarily house them. They are also provided with heaters, sleeping bags, thermoses, gas cookers, portable chargers, etc. Anyone deciding to join such an initiative can contact local humanitarian organizations and participate in providing aid to those in need.

Medical services

One more way to help those injured during or after a war is by providing medical services, both to civilians and military personnel. If you are a doctor or other medical professional, you can join volunteer organizations that work on the ground and help the injured during military conflict. Help consists of pulling people out from under the rubble, giving first aid or performing surgery, helping with injuries or fractures of limbs, etc. The need for medical services during and after war is very great to determine the general condition of the injured and the need for timely assistance. It also includes psychological support for soldiers and civilians due to the stress that is expressed, through panic, shock, insomnia, etc.

Blood donation is also a very key factor in providing medical services to both soldiers and civilians. For this purpose, special blood donation points are being set up where every volunteer can contribute to saving lives.

One more way of providing medical services is to raise funds to pay for all medical services, to purchase the necessary equipment and apparatus, etc. Medics working on the front line or providing assistance to the injured during or after war also need various drugs and medications that are key to providing first aid to the injured. Subsidising medical services will also greatly help in the rehabilitation of victims after the war.

Fundraising

Helping the injured during or after war is also about organising or participating in donation campaigns to raise funds needed to buy goods and materials, food, medicine, equipment, etc. Anyone can individually or through various companies or foundations start a charity campaign to raise funds to be given to those in need. You can also share your ideas for charity on social networks or with organizations that deal with charity. Such as the Pavel Andreev Foundation. On their website you can post the necessary information about what is happening or about the need of the people, after the end of the war, for funds to be able to rebuild their homes and all the infrastructure.
