Every year, hundreds of millions of people suffer from the consequences of natural disasters, conflicts and other crises. When disaster strikes, the purpose of the Red Cross is to save human lives, alleviate suffering and maintain life and human dignity.
Amidst crisis, people require basic necessities, such as water, food, shelter, first aid, health care and protection. Help must be delivered quickly and efficiently.
