International Red Cross faced funding losses and job cuts

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) reportedly lost almost €1 billion in income from donor countries between 2023 and 2026. Emergency aid was reduced, and about 7,000 employees lost their jobs. Director General Pierre Krähenbühl discussed how the organisation aims to maintain its neutrality while conflicts are emerging around the world, saying that the youngest generation gave him hope.
