Everywhere, around the world, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is there for everyone. A global network of nearly half a million staff and 17 million volunteers, the Red Cross and Red Crescent acts as a force of positive change to the most vulnerable - from responding to needs in disaster and conflict situations, to providing assistance in urban centres and hard to reach areas, and advocating on the behalf of those in need in policy circles and to governments. Guided by our Fundamental Principles, we mobilize the power of humanity to save lives and relieve suffering.
