Red Cross is an international organization concerned with
alleviating the suffering and promoting public health. It was formed in
1863 on the urging of Jean Henry Dunant, a Swiss citizen who had
witnessed the suffering at the battle of Solferino (1859). The Geneva
Convention of 1864 adopted the red cross as a symbol of neutral aid.
Today there are over 100 national Red Cross societies and two
international bodies based in Geneva.
