The Polish Red Cross Honorary Blood Donation Days once again demonstrated the extraordinary community that honorary blood donors create. Galas and meetings were held in many cities, recognizing long-time blood donors and institutions supporting the development of blood donation.

Over 900 participants from over 50 countries – family members of missing persons, experts, and representatives of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement – ​​gathered for the 4th International Conference of Families of Missing Persons. This is the only forum in the world entirely dedicated to the voices of families living with uncertainty about the fate of their loved ones.

Five Red Crescent volunteers have died and three remain missing. The tragedy occurred while they were distributing food in the city of Bara, Sudan.
