ICRC: Saving Lives in War Zones

The International Committee of the Red Cross, a top humanitarian institution and three-time Nobel Prize Laureate operates in 90 countries to help people affected by conflict and armed violence, and promoting the rules of war. The work they do to save victims of war includes the wounded, prisoners, refugees, civilians, and other non-combatants. We learn about how they track the missing, visit prisoners, provide aid during war, and the usage forensics to identify human remains. The Geneva based NGO has become one of the most important bodies that ensures the implementation of the Geneva Conventions ratified by all countries.
