Happy World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day!🌎
Today, we celebrate the incredible work done by PRCS staff and volunteers in the #Gaza Strip. Every day, they keep humanity alive, providing a helping hand to those in need. Tragically, 17 of them were killed while on duty, bravely striving to save lives.
This World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day, let's honor their service, bravery, and sacrifice.
Thank you for everything you do. Thanks to our humanitarian heroes👏
