The Humanitarians (Book) | The International Committee of the Red Cross

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) coordinates the world’s largest private relief system for conflict situations. Its staff operates throughout the world, and in recent years the ICRC has mounted large operations in the Balkans and Somalia.
