The Red Cross and the Red Crescent have local representation in most countries of the world.
A red cross is an internationally-recognized symbol of medical aid. It derives from the reverse of the white cross on the Swiss flag. The Red Cross organization originated in Switzerland in the mid-1800's.
The Red Cross and Red Crescent are internationally recognized symbols that signify humanitarian aid and protection in conflict zones, aimed at ensuring the safety of medical personnel and facilities. They are also protected under international law, specifically the Geneva Conventions, which prohibits their misuse. Additionally, these symbols are associated with the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, which provides relief and assistance during emergencies and disasters.
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.
