The International Red Cross is a global humanitarian movement dedicated to providing protection and assistance to people in times of conflict, disaster, and crisis. Rooted in the principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity, and universality, it works to alleviate human suffering and uphold dignity worldwide. The movement consists of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), and 191 national societies. The ICRC focuses primarily on conflict zones, ensuring respect for international humanitarian law and supporting victims of war. The IFRC coordinates relief efforts for natural disasters and health emergencies, while national societies provide local support and community-based services. Together, these organizations form the world’s largest humanitarian network, working across borders to deliver life-saving aid, strengthen resilience, and promote peace and understanding.
