Snowstorms and ICU transfers

Today, we were surprised by a snowstorm on the way back after transporting a seriously injured patient in eastern Ukraine with our local colleagues. The transport routes are often several hundred kilometres, which can be challenging in fair weather. But the snowstorm would have extended the journey time extremely, so that we first had to refill our oxygen cylinders before we could continue on to the next mission. In general, there is still a great shortage of materials for the rescue services, from bandage scissors to tubes and medication. We have already shared the medicines that were urgently transferred from Germany with various colleagues in the emergency services and hospitals. Your donations made this and many other different deliveries of materials possible.  Please continue to actively support our projects "Lifesavers for Ukraine" and "1000 more winter sleeping bags"!
