Humanitarian operations worldwide

Extreme weather disasters often leave people in the affected areas vulnerable. Earthquakes, floods or storms quickly destroy entire regions and existences.

Providing poeple in need with fast and purposeful assistance requires efficient coordination of aid and close cooperation with local Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.

GRC projects always have the objective to strengthen the resilience of the most vulnerable people and the National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to enable them to better cope with crises and disasters in the future.

The climate crisis affects us all – but countries in the Global South are hit particularly hard. We are working worldwide to counteract the negative humanitarian consequences of climate change through climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction projects.

The German Red Cross is intensively exploring how anticipatory humanitarian aid can be planned and implemented to better protect people before an impending disaster occurs.
