The Red Crescent is a humanitarian organization that provides emergency assistance, disaster relief, and education in communities affected by crises. It is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, which operates globally to help those in need, regardless of their background or beliefs. The Red Crescent primarily serves countries with a majority Muslim population, using a crescent symbol instead of the traditional red cross. Founded in 1863, the Red Crescent works alongside national societies to deliver medical care, food, and shelter during emergencies. It also focuses on promoting health and well-being through various programs, including first aid training and disaster preparedness initiatives.
