Students from the Newcastle University Medical School are helping to save lives in Ukraine by sending vital first aid supplies to those affected by the conflict.
Olga Gumenyuk, a British- Ukrainian PhD student at Newcastle University, and fellow PhD student Issac Goh, came up with the idea of setting up an initiative called First Aid Ukraine to help people on the frontline of the war against Russia.
Items including c atheters, slings and cannulas have been donated by the university's medical school and handed to organisation Medical Aid Ukraine North East (MAUNE) who will be transporting the supplies to Ukraine in the coming weeks.
