World Red Cross Day is one of the events marked yearly at the South Sudan Red Cross. World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day, held on 8 May, the birthday of our founder Henry Dunant, is an annual celebration of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. Each year, Red Cross and Red Crescent societies organize activities to highlight the unique role of the Movement in their respective countries.
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement supports millions of people around the world every year – in times of conflict, natural disaster like COVID -19 and crisis. Following years of humanitarian action, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is committed to providing relevant and timely humanitarian service to vulnerable communities now and into the future.
