Drones aiding mountain rescuers?
#technology helps cut the time for searching injured tourists in half, & providing first aid is twice as fast
📍 Drones help with:
🔹 View on hard-to-reach terrains
🔹 Identifying steep & dangerous gullies
🔹 Sending precise coordinates for response
🗣️ "Drones with thermal cameras can save not hours, but days!" – Ivan Angelinin, Mountain Rescue Service (MRS) – Bansko squad
💬 Two drones are already being used in Bansko – one with a thermal camera and one without. Every minute is valuable, especially in the mountains!
🚨 Another good news – the 4th emergency helicopter is already in #Bulgaria

❤️ We thank all the rescuers from the Mountain Rescue Service (MRS) of the @BGRedCross for their courage and dedication!

Sixty years ago, on 8 October 1965, the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement were formally adopted at the 20th International Conference of the Red Cross in Vienna.

Since then, these seven principles - Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary Service, Unity, and Universality - have made life-saving humanitarian action possible in disasters, armed conflicts, and crises around the world.
But today, principled humanitarian action is under pressure, from politicization of aid, attacks on humanitarian workers, disinformation, and shrinking humanitarian space.

As we mark this 60th anniversary, we reaffirm our commitment to these Fundamental Principles and call on all States and actors to respect and protect them, so that humanity can continue to prevail where it’s needed most.

Да почиват в мир!

[Bulgarian Red Cross @BGRedCross]

🖤 С огромна болка и тъга научихме за трагичната загуба на трима наши колеги и приятели от Български Червен кръст – Монтана, които загинаха при тежка пътнотранспортна злополука.

Инж. Мая Ройдева – дългогодишен директор на областната организация, Надка Чипева и Розалин Лазаров бяха не просто служители, а хора с мисия – всеотдайни, състрадателни и напълно отдадени на каузата на БЧК.

Само ден преди трагедията те бяха на терен заедно с доброволци и колеги, в помощ на пострадалите от наводненията в областта – раздаваха вода, храна и подаваха ръка на хора в беда.

Те не бяха просто част от екипа – те бяха сърцето на организацията. Хора, които вдъхват надежда в най-трудните моменти.

🖤 Изказваме най-искрени съболезнования към техните семейства, близки, колеги и всички, които ги познаваха. Загубата е тежка не само за БЧК, но и за хората, които разчитаха на тяхната доброта и сила.

Нека почиват в мир.

[P. Lilova @PLilova]

Съболезнования на близките!
С тези колеги започнах пътя си като доброволец!
My condolences!

[Bulgarian Red Cross @BGRedCross]

Съболезнования на семействата на загиналите ни колеги, както и на всички служители и доброволци от областната организация в Монтана!
Condolences to the families of our deceased colleagues, and to the staff and the volunteers of our regional branch in Montana!
We are all shocked by the tragic news!

[IFRC Europe @IFRC_Europe]

In #Istanbul, people gather on the streets, too anxious to return indoors after this morning's earthquakes.

@RedCrescent has already mobilized its teams to provide hot meals to the affected people.

[IFRC @ifrc]

On behalf of the @IFRC, we extend our deepest condolences on the passing of Pope Francis.

His unwavering commitment to humanity and his legacy of compassion, peace, and courage will continue to inspire us all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the global community during this time of mourning.

[IFRC Europe @IFRC_Europe]

Access to healthcare is a necessity. And in emergencies, it's a matter of life and death

Across Europe & Central Asia, our Red Cross Red Crescent teams support thousands of people, from ensuring epidemic prevention to providing medical and mental health services.
