Freelancers covering the Mosul offensive receive medical safety training | Rory Peck Trust
"The last days have shown the enormous dangers journalists and fixers
are facing while covering the Mosul offensive and we know that many
freelancers, both locals and internationals, go to the frontlines
without proper combat medical training or equipment.
For most
freelancers, medical safety training is too expensive and often hard to
access. By organising training initiatives such as this in Erbil we can
help equip freelancers for the dangers facing them in their work
environment. We are thankful to have organisations like Rory Peck Trust, Free Press Unlimited and North American Rescue supporting the project." - Osie Greenway, Director of The War Zone Freelance Project.
