The humanitarian aid of the German Red Cross knows no borders
We provide assistance worldwide — guided solely by the level of need — in more than 40 countries across five continents. Whether responding to natural disasters, famines, epidemics or armed conflicts, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement takes action and delivers life-saving support wherever it is needed.
Together with the Red Cross or Red Crescent Society of the respective country, we assess on site what those affected need most urgently. This allows us to deliver targeted and timely assistance — such as drinking water, food, shelter, and medical care.
Beyond emergency humanitarian aid, we focus on long-term goals such as reconstruction, strengthening the resilience of crisis-affected regions and advancing sustainable development. Creating long-term prospects is a central part of our international assistance.
