International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is a humanitarian organization that coordinates relief efforts during emergencies and disasters worldwide. Founded in 1919, it supports the national Red Cross and Red Crescent societies in providing assistance, healthcare, and disaster relief. The IFRC promotes humanitarian values, helps communities prepare for disasters, and advocates for social inclusion and health. Operating in nearly every country, it plays a crucial role in responding to crises and fostering resilience among vulnerable populations, especially during natural disasters and conflicts.
