The international humanitarian organization, MOAS,  has launched a fundraising campaign for a new program that aims to provide emergency mobile medical care to civilians affected by the war.

MOAS will deploy Mobile Medical Units, and ambulances and pharmaceutical aid, to rapidly respond to health emergencies.  

We also have the expertise and experience to provide medical evacuation, as long as emergency kits and first aid training to civilians, to increase community-based capacity in response to medical emergencies.

"We need to hurry," said Regina Catrambone, co-founder and director of MOAS, “because the violence of the war is having devastating effects on the civilian population. Our focus is on the rapid deployment of a medical team experienced in emergency medicine to help those in need. We are doing everything possible to intervene efficiently and effectively to the best of our abilities, and we will continue to do so as long as necessary ”."We also intend, if we have the opportunity, to provide first aid kits and training to civilians to implement their response capacity to health emergencies",Catrambone concluded.
