World Humanitarian Day

The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement supports millions of people around the world – in times of conflict, natural disaster, and crisis. Drawing on over 150 years of experience, we are committed to providing essential humanitarian service to vulnerable communities worldwide.

From dawn to dusk, from Fiji to Colombia, our work never stops. Check out a day in the life of the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement.
