Answer
The International Red Cross was founded in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1863 by Jean-Henri Dunant and Gustave Moynier. Both men were Swiss citizens, and they were motivated to establish the organization in response to the suffering they had witnessed during the Battle of Solferino in 1859. The Red Cross has since become a global humanitarian organization that provides assistance to people affected by war, natural disasters, and other crises.
