The Red Cross is an international humanitarian organization providing disaster relief, emergency assistance, and medical aid.

Founded after the 1864 Geneva Convention, it operates through national societies worldwide: The Red Cross set up shelters after the hurricane.

The distinctive emblem—a red cross on white background—signals neutrality and protection in armed conflicts.
