They are the symbols of the International Red Cross Society and the Islamic version of the same group, the International Red Crescent Society. Both societies do the same thing: they help people who have been injured in war or natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes. In June, 1859 a Swiss man named Jean-Henri Dunant organized emergency aid for hundreds of French and Austrian soldiers who lay wounded and dying after the Battle of Solferino in Italy. He wrote a book about what happened and suggested that voluntary relief groups should be organized in every country. People around the world read his book and in 1864 the first groups formed under the name “International Red Cross”. (责任编辑：admin) |
