A GIFT OF HOPE

Amid the chaos and despair, the International Committee of the Red Cross stands as a sign of hope to those whose lives have been changed forever.

The ICRC strives to bring humanity to the most challenging and dangerous situations in close collaboration with and in support of our partners in the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

But as the pressure on our resources continues to grow, we need more funds to assist the increasing number of men, women and children around the world who find themselves caught in the crossfire of conflict and other crises.
