The Red Cross, an emblem of humanitarian aid and a symbol of hope, represents the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, a global network of humanitarian organizations dedicated to providing relief to those in need. Founded in 1863 by Henry Dunant, the Red Cross movement has played a pivotal role in alleviating human suffering during times of war, natural disasters, and health crises. Its principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, universality, and unity guide its actions and inspire a global community of volunteers and professionals who strive to make the world a more compassionate place.
