The Red Cross Round-up

 The Round-up offers a weekly sample of what our Sister Red Cross Societies are working on around the world.

SRI LANKA: Over 1 million people have been affected by another wave of severe flooding that has wreaked havoc in the Eastern, North and North Central Provinces of Sri Lanka. 

MADAGASCAR: The ICRC is stepping up its activities in Malagasy prisons and is continuing to support National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in the region.

PAKISTAN: The Red Cross Red Crescent is providing trauma counselling for families left homeless by the floods.
