Crisis and conflict dominate the headlines.  The ongoing war in Ukraine and the conflict between Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory have brought death, destruction and displacement.  But among the major disasters and conflicts. It's important to look for the stories of the people who are helping.  As we mark over 5,000 medical evacuations from Ukraine, in this episode of Health in Europe, we'll share stories about some of the sick and injured people who have been transported away from war zones and other emergencies, and of their welcome, medical treatment, recovery and eventual repatriation.  We'll also explore the Region's Emergency Medical Teams to learn about people who, with sometimes only hours notice, drop everything to travel to emergency zones. Who are they and what motivates them?  To find out further about any of the subjects covered in the Health In Europe podcast, visit our website: https://www.who.int/europe/
