PAH supplying medical aid to the victims of Osetia terrorist tragedy

The Polska Akcja Humanitarna (PAH) charity is organizing support for victims of the terrorist attack in Osetia. Money will be spent on medical aid, beds and equipment for the hospitals where more than 300 people were treated after Friday's tragedy. The hospitals also lack other basic medical equipment. PAH estimates that $6,000 would buy 30 beds, which will probably be delivered to the hospitals today(Wednesday). "The faster we organize help the more people will be treated in appropriate conditions," said the head of PAH Janina Ochojska. Other organizations such as Caritas Polska are joining PAH's appeal for help. The government is planning to fly aid to Russia in the next few days. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A4) A.F.
