400 million children are affected by wars worldwide. Medical care in their home countries often collapses completely. Their only life-saving measure is an operation abroad.
Refugees and wars forcing people to leave their home countries have been a main topic of inter-national media within the last years. But most victims of war remain invisible to us in our safe bubble. Especially in times when Europe is once again sealing itself off from refugees in an absolutely inhumane way. These „invisible“ never make it out of their country and the conflict zones because they are too sick, too weak, too old or too young. For a large part of the population necessary treatment is no longer possible.
Complicated operations can not be carried out even years after a conflict because qualified staff and infrastructure are missing. For patients this simply can imply death. In Europe, on the other hand, they can often be helped with standard operations. The NGO Friedensdorf International enables about 300 children to receive this life-saving medical treatment every year.
