International Committee of the Red Cross

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is a humanitarian institution based in Geneva, Switzerland, known for its neutral and impartial approach to assisting victims of armed conflict and violence. Established in 1863, the ICRC operates worldwide, providing medical assistance, food, and shelter to those affected by war and natural disasters. It also plays a crucial role in advocating for the protection of human rights and the adherence to international humanitarian law. Recently, the ICRC has been in the news for its response to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, where it reported a significant number of casualties among civilians seeking aid.
