ICRC highlights urgent need to address global humanitarian crisis

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has warned of the urgent need to address a deepening global humanitarian crisis, as escalating conflicts, record displacement, climate shocks and severe funding shortages leave millions of vulnerable people in need of life-saving assistance.
On the occasion of World Humanitarian Day, Pierre Krahenbuhl, director-general of the ICRC, said that “The first concern of the ICRC is related to the great proliferation of armed conflicts.”
