have been doing for weeks and weeks now, but they need more resources, they need more donations, they need more supplies. because every day, the circumstances change, right? there might be a lower number of people crossing for a day, maybe even a week, but a town that s targeted in ukraine, homes get destroyed, and suddenly, there s another uptick in people coming here into poland. we spoke with an organization called rescuers without borders or sff. they re an israeli french organization that provide medical care at the border. and they told us that the people they re seeing fall into two camps. one is people needing immediate help that are dehydrated and hypothermic. it s incredibly cold. people injured on the journey over here. the other camp is a little bit more complicated in terms of what they need. they re people with chronic diseases, heart disease, diabetes, right, insulin is in high demand and they need to keep replenishing that stockpile. so all of those resources are still
the other thing that they re doing, which is something that many organizations operating here do is while they re helping refugees in poland, they re also pushing supplies, especially medical supplies into ukraine. and that is where things get especially challenging. soldiers need morphine, they need painkillers, they need tourniquets, which are really hard to get your hand on right now. and i want you to hear about the situation that we heard from sff about today. listen. part of what you do is here in medka and another part is getting supplies to ukraine. your colleagues who are getting those supplies out there, what are you hearing in terms of the biggest challenges that they re facing to get what hospitals and soldiers need in their hands? i think it s they have struggled to get the thing, to get the medication, enough supplies and everything. they also have struggles to move them from one place to another.
an israeli french group helping provide medical care both for refugees coming across and sending also medical supplies into ukraine. they say that for refugees, there are basically two camps. one, people who need treatment right away. whether hypothermia because the weather has been frigid here, to frostbite, to dehydration. right? the other camp, people fleeing very quickly. people with chronic conditions often don t have medications. diabetes, insulin in major demand and they need to make sure the stockpiles are constantly refreshed. one of the biggest challenges is actually getting supplies into ukraine, into the hospitals. getting things like morphine and tourniquets to soldiers also in demand but supply is minimal. i want to do hear from the operations manager for this group about all of that. take a listen. what medications are you lacking or you need a bigger stockpile of? well, everything.
