The future role of a restructured task force in providing emergency disaster relief and the required logistical support is outlined.Kidney transplantation (KT) is the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage renal disease. KT recipients are considered a vulnerable patient population because of their dependence on expensive immunosuppression drugs from the time of transplantation until graft failure. Management of KT recipients is complex, and therefore requires a sustainable infrastructure that is equipped to provide reliable medical care and continued access to immunosuppressive drugs. This structure, especially in third-world countries, relies on elements that may be easily disrupted during times of armed conflict. This results in a decrease in KT rate and interruption in access to immunosuppressive drugs, which may lead to poor KT outcomes. This review summarizes our experiences and reviews other literature published regarding the status and management of KT recipients in Syrians as an example of an armed conflict zone.Armed conflict jeopardizes patient care through shortages in vital medical supplies. When health care resources are both scarce and not secure, ethically justified principles of action are required to continue the treatment of patients. Although literature exists on the allocation and treatment decisions for military health care workers and warfighters, scarce literature exist for the use of available resources for civilians living within war zones. Chronic or acute kidney disease patients requiring replacement therapies are among the most vulnerable patient population in this regard. In this article, we discuss the use of peritoneal dialysis treatment for both acute and chronic kidney disea
