World Missing Persons Day – a global problem with a human face
August 30th is World Missing Persons Day. It's an excellent time to remember that the right to know the fate of loved ones is a fundamental human right, and the Polish Red Cross and the entire Red Crescent Movement work daily to fulfill it.
The "Safety Guide" will be distributed to all residents
“The Safety Guide was developed in cooperation with the Polish Red Cross, which, as part of the expert consultations, shared its long-standing experience in the field of rescue operations, first aid, and support for the civilian population.”

7 principles of PCK
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is always guided in fulfilling its mission by seven fundamental principles that are constant and not influenced by current ideologies.
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, born out of concern for providing aid to the wounded on the battlefield without making any distinction between them, undertakes efforts both internationally and nationally to prevent human suffering and alleviate it in all circumstances. It aims to protect life and health and ensure respect for human dignity. It contributes to mutual understanding, friendship, and cooperation, as well as lasting peace among all nations.
Humanitarianism
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement makes no distinction on the basis of nationality, race, faith, social status, or political beliefs. It is solely focused on providing assistance to those in need, guided by their requirements and prioritizing the most urgent cases.
Impartiality
In order to maintain public trust, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement refrains from participating in armed conflicts and — at all times — in disputes of a political, racial, religious, or ideological nature.
Neutrality
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is independent. National Societies, while assisting public authorities in their humanitarian activities and subject to the law in their countries, should always exercise autonomy, allowing them to act at all times in accordance with the principles of the Movement.
Independence
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement provides assistance voluntarily, without seeking to achieve any benefits.
Voluntariness
In each country, there is only one association of the Red Cross or the Red Crescent. It should be open to everyone and encompass its humanitarian activities throughout the entire country.
Unity
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement encompasses its activities worldwide.
Universality
The Polish Red Cross is in the whole of Poland
