Red cross-assistant to all.

The International Committee of the Red Cross is located in Geneva, Switzerland. This committee was founded on June 24, 1863. Also Red Cross has three Nobel Peace Prizes.

These things say that Red Cross helps to people whom needed. Example, during war or natural disasters. No matter where it happens.

The International Committee of the Red Cross has its own history. In 1859 Henry Dunant, met with French emperor Napoleon III. Two men talked about the difficalties of working in Algeria, which was the French territory. When Henry Dunant arrived in town Solferino and saw fighting during several thousands of soldiers died and injuries.

When he returned to home he wrote book A memory of Solferino. Henry Dunant said about lack of help.

So it was beginning for The Intenational Committee of the Red Cross.
