September 13th marks World First Aid Day, established by the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. It's an opportunity to remind people that the ability to respond quickly and appropriately can save lives.

The tragic flood in September 2024 affected 238,000 people, destroyed nearly 12,000 buildings, and caused losses estimated at PLN 1.4 billion. A year later, the Polish Red Cross published a report summarizing the actions taken during and after the disaster.

August 30th is World Missing Persons Day. It's an excellent time to remember that the right to know the fate of loved ones is a fundamental human right, and the Polish Red Cross and the entire Red Crescent Movement work daily to fulfill it.

“The Safety Guide was developed in cooperation with the Polish Red Cross, which, as part of the expert consultations, shared its long-standing experience in the field of rescue operations, first aid, and support for the civilian population.”

When volunteers die, the world loses not only people but also hope. On World Humanitarian Day, we remind everyone: those who help must not be targeted.

On the occasion of the 81st anniversary of the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising, the Polish Red Cross is organizing a nationwide promotional and educational campaign "Blood Ties."

The Polish Red Cross is conducting nationwide awareness campaigns and encouraging donations through its Holiday Drop of Blood campaign. This is a response to the increased demand for this valuable tissue during the summer months.

Approximately PLN 300,000 was raised across Poland as part of this year's Polish Red Cross Gold Rush campaign. These funds will be used to organize summer recreation and support children and young people.

Due to heavy rainfall and the risk of flooding, weather alerts were in effect across much of the country. The Polish Red Cross's Rescue Teams and Humanitarian Aid Teams were placed on heightened alert. Thanks to our excellent organization, training, and equipment, we are able to act quickly.
