Programme Report 2022

Emergency and disaster relief

Überschwemmungen, Erdbeben, Gewalt oder Hunger rauben jährlich Hunderttausenden die Existenzgrundlage. Als Teil der Internationalen Rotkreuz- und Rothalbmondbewegung leisten wir weltweit humanitäre Hilfe in Krisen und bei Katastrophen. In Kriegsgebieten ist das Internationale Komitee vom Roten Kreuz (IKRK) meist schon vor Ort. Bei Katastrophen verursacht durch extreme Wetterereignisse koordiniert die Internationale Föderation der Rotkreuz- und Rothalbmondgesellschaften (IFRC) die Hilfe. Sie tut dies gemeinsam mit der jeweiligen Nationalen Gesellschaft und deren Freiwilligen.
