The Polish Red Cross (PCK) is once again organizing the “Wyprawka dla Żaka” campaign, the aim of which is to support children and young people from families in a difficult financial situation. This year's edition of the campaign, carried out with the help of partners Amazon and Auchan, aims to provide students with the necessary school supplies so that they can happily start the new school year.

In connection with the fire in a tenement house on Kraszewskiego Street in Poznań, rescuers from the Polish Red Cross went into action. They were on the scene almost from the beginning of the disaster, supporting the fire department and the ambulance service. The Polish Red Cross Wielkopolska launched its own point: a Red Cross tent was set up, where firefighters and victims receive meals, hot drinks and psychological first aid.

The year 2024 marks the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the four Geneva Conventions of 1949, as well as the 160th anniversary of the first Geneva Convention of 1864. This is a unique opportunity to underscore the enduring importance of international humanitarian law (IHL) in protecting victims of armed conflict. Created at the initiative of the Red Cross, the conventions express universal human values. They save health, life and dignity.
