Red Crescent is one of the greatest philanthropist organization of the world established by Henry Dunant during the Creamier War.

In Europe (during WW1) a charity was set up to look after injured soldiers and so that the hospitals would not be attacked, a red cross on a white background was painted on them. This organization was therefore named the "red cross" and continued its charity work after the end of the war, servicing both military and civilian needs to this day. In Muslim countries the same general organization uses a red crescent (like the new moon) as its symbol rather than the red cross. The red cross and red crescent are internationally recognized as medical facilities and transport with the symbol on must not be attacked by any troops - to do so is a breach of the Geneva convention and a war crime.
