The
Round-up offers a weekly sample of what our sister Red Cross Societies are working on around the world.
IRAN: As millions of Iranians are preparing to
celebrate the Nowruz Festival, the Iranian Red Crescent Youth
Organization has implemented its National Nowruz Travelers' Safety and Health Plan in 31 provinces. The main objective of the plan is the guidance of all internal travelers who visit all provinces during the 15 days of Nowruz holidays, as well as raising awareness to the general public on reducing accidents and promoting safe behaviours.
SOUTH SUDAN: Continuing violence in South Sudan has left thousands wounded. Many of them risk death, as the unstable situation stops them getting medical treatment. Since the beginning of the crisis, the ICRC has performed nearly 1,200 operations.
