At present, the epidemic situation in COVID-19 has been controlled to some extent. However, due to the measures of "closing the city" during the Spring Festival and the holidays of various production enterprises, there is a shortage of living materials and medical materials in some areas with serious epidemic situation. On the one hand, the state has taken various measures to urgently allocate national resources and fully support Wuhan and other places to fight the epidemic. On the other hand, donations from non-governmental organizations have also been activated, and organizations and individuals at home and abroad have donated a lot of money and materials.
The flood of donations has objectively enriched disaster relief resources and enhanced the ability to resist the epidemic. By the end of 1, the Red Cross Society of China and the China Red Cross Foundation had received a total of 849,723,200 yuan from the society for the prevention and treatment of pneumonia in novel coronavirus. Even with such a huge donation, there is still a shortage of materials in some areas. The main reasons are as follows: First, the disposal of donated materials itself requires costs.
In the actual action of "donate whatever you have", there is a situation of "don't donate what you should", and there may be problems such as excessive accumulation, damage, expiration and deterioration. Third, there is a "hot donation" from donors, and the quality of donated materials is not enough. In order to establish a good social reputation during the outbreak of the epidemic, some manufacturers earned a reputation by cleaning up their stocks or replacing products, and cleaned up their stocks, so they donated some surplus materials to the epidemic areas.
The Red Cross, foundations and other charitable organizations should earnestly fulfill the rights and obligations entrusted by law and actively carry out "anti-epidemic" relief activities. In case of public health emergencies and other emergencies, it is necessary to carry out public fund-raising activities, which must be carried out by qualified subjects. Public welfare social organizations shall follow the principles of legality, voluntariness, honesty and non-profit, and relevant fund-raising activities shall not endanger national security and social public interests, shall not accept additional donations that violate laws, regulations and social morality, and shall not attach conditions that violate laws, regulations and social morality to beneficiaries.
Legal basis: Article 273 of the Criminal Law misappropriates funds and materials used for disaster relief, emergency rescue, flood control, special care, poverty alleviation, immigration and relief, and if the circumstances are serious, causing great damage to the interests of the state and the people, the person directly responsible shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention; If the circumstances are especially serious, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years.
