The Red Cross Movement is a humanitarian organization founded in 1863, aimed at providing assistance to those affected by conflict and disasters. It operates globally, focusing on emergency response, health services, and disaster relief. The movement is guided by principles such as neutrality, impartiality, and voluntary service.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is a key component of the movement, working in conflict zones to protect and assist victims. Additionally, national societies, like the American Red Cross, play vital roles in local communities, offering support during emergencies and promoting health and safety education.
