Band-aid campaign Belgian Red Cross-Flanders enters final day

Today is the last day of Belgian Red Cross-Flanders' Plaster Action, thousands of volunteers took to the streets over the past two weeks to raise funds for their operation.

Haven't come across a volunteer yourself but would like to support the local operation? Plasters can still be purchased through the website www.koopdepleister.be until midnight today - all proceeds go to more than 200 local chapters.

With the action, thousands of volunteers invest their operation: from free first-aid training and ambulances to tents and intervention equipment.

The figures of the patch campaign will be communicated on May 9 morning.
