赤十字 (Red Cross) is an international humanitarian organization founded in 1863. It provides emergency assistance, disaster relief, and education in communities affected by crises. The organization operates in many countries, promoting health and well-being while upholding the principles of neutrality and impartiality. The 赤十字 is known for its iconic red cross symbol, which represents protection for those in need, including wounded soldiers and civilians. It works alongside other organizations, such as the 国際赤十字赤新月社連盟 (International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies), to coordinate global humanitarian efforts and respond to emergencies effectively.
