Liczy się każda minuta
Gdy nadchodzi katastrofa – czy będzie to nagła powódź, trzęsienie ziemi czy rozległy pożar – liczy się każda minuta. Pierwsze godziny po kryzysie są decydujące dla ratowania życia i zdrowia poszkodowanych. W takich momentach natychmiastowa reakcja jest możliwa tylko wtedy, gdy zasoby do udzielenia pomocy są już przygotowane z wyprzedzeniem.
Fundusz na Ratunek Polskiego Czerwonego Krzyża powstał właśnie po to, by pomoc była na wyciągnięcie ręki od pierwszej chwili. Dzięki temu, gdy wydarzy się nieszczęście, nasi ratownicy i wolontariusze mogą od razu wyruszyć z misją ratunkową, a ludzie w potrzebie otrzymają wsparcie od razu, wtedy kiedy jest im najbardziej potrzebne.
Need
In 2024, drought affected as many as 15 voivodeships. The media bombards us with information about ongoing droughts and water shortages, while at the same time, we are struggling with intense storms. On one hand, we observe drying rivers and lakes, and on the other – when it does rain, we often face floods or inundations. There is also an increasing discussion about flash floods caused by heavy rainfall.
The September flood in southern Poland had tragic consequences, destroying the life’s work of many people. Water rushed violently into rivers, breached dikes, flooding nearby towns. The aftermath was dramatic: destroyed homes, roads, and bridges, evacuation of thousands of people, and enormous losses in agriculture and industry.
Poland is also becoming a country with a changing migratory character, experiencing a growing influx of foreigners, mainly from Ukraine, who are increasingly choosing Poland as their permanent place of residence. The conflict in Ukraine has led to an unprecedented influx of refugees, presenting Poland, including the Polish Red Cross, with the challenge of providing them shelter and protection.
