Destination country/region: Polish-Belarusian border, Poland
Period: December 2021
Short description: Between Christmas and New Year we supported the local initiative Grupa Granica with donations in kind and a small support team.
Project Progress:
Several weeks before the mission, CADUS was already in contact with Grupa Granica to determine the need for specific medical and communication equipment. During the Christmas holidays, the group needed not only material support but also medical professionals. A Medic and another CADUS staff member headed to the border to support the local initiative there.
Our Medic was mainly on site to be able to medically examine refugees hiding in the forest there trying to get across the border when alerted by the local network.

News from northern Syria
Good news for our projects in Rojava, Northern Syria. Funding for the medical care station in Raqqa was extended and our proposal to furnish a Trauma Stabilization Point including training for local personnel was granted. This way, we can create medical capabilities in preparation of possible new fights breaking out.
Endstation Sarajevo?
Tausende Geflüchtete stecken auf ihrem Weg ins Herz Europas in Bosnien-Herzegovina fest. Als Mitglied unserer Emergency Response ist Jonas in Sarajevo im Einsatz und erzählt uns in einem persönlichen Bericht von seinen Erfahrungen.
Auge um Auge, Zahn um Zahn
Nein, hier geht es nicht um eine biblische Auseinandersetzung. Vielmehr brauchen Geflüchtete in Bosnien Unterstützung bei Augen- und Zahnbehandlungen. Unser Head of Mission Adrian berichtet.
