Ukraine: a Politruck for those fleeing the war
The largest of Emergency’s mobile clinics, with supplies of drugs and consumables, left for Moldova
As part of the war in Ukraine, the Politruck, the largest of Emergency’s mobile clinics, left today with supplies of drugs and consumables. A humanitarian organization team will be in Moldova to offer assistance to the thousands of elderly people, women, and children who are fleeing the conflict these days.
In this phase, the staff involved will deal with basic medicine and nursing, as well as provide psychological support.
“They are people who have had to abandon everything at any moment, all that is left of them is in the trolleys they drag behind them in orderly rows. We will also have to deal with assistance to the chronically ill, as well as be prepared to manage any Covid-19 outbreaks “.
This is explained by Andrea Bellardinelli, an italian member of the Emergency team who is helping people fleeing the war in Ukraine.
“We organized ourselves, we tried to understand what our contribution could be and how to put our experience at the service of this emergency. We have chosen to use the mobile clinic because we believe that in this way we will be able to operate by moving to different places, to follow the needs that the unpredictable situation of the conflict imposes on us “.
Bellardinelli concludes: “In a few days we will begin assisting the victims of yet another senseless and cruel war, where civilians always pay the highest price”. For those who wish, it is possible to support Emergency’s work to bring aid to people affected by the war in Ukraine, which began more than two weeks ago.
