Today’s photo of the day comes from the Syrian Arab Red Crescent Society as they look back on the humanitarian assistance they provided throughout the year of 2012.
The Syrian Arab Red Crescent reaches out to close to 2 million people on a monthly basis and at least 3,000 volunteers are involved in Syrian Arab Red Crescent aid operations. In 2012, sadly the National Society lost ten of its volunteers, eight of them who were killed while providing humanitarian assistance with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent. Visit the IFRC's website to see more photos of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent in action throughout the past year.
