Spanish Red Cross is directly helping more than 28,000 people in the Region of Murcia who are in a vulnerable situation since the state of alarm was activated two months ago as a result of the health crisis caused by COVID-19.
The “major challenge” posed by the health, economic and social crisis caused by COVID-19 has forced the Red Cross to react and adapt, sometimes in a matter of hours, something to which the organization “can respond thanks to his experience in extreme circumstances, capillarity on the ground and the resources he manages. “
The humanitarian organization highlights that the advance of the pandemic and the situation of prolonged confinement have been creating new situations that have made it reinforce initiatives and create new responses in record time. “We reached places that no one else is capable of reaching,” emphasizes this NGO.
For this reason, it indicates that management, coordination and maximum professionalism are the premises of action of the ‘Red Cross Responde’ plan, the largest in the history of the Red Cross, both in terms of mobilized resources and the complexity of its management.
For this, it considers “essential” the coordination between administrations and social entities, as it is taking place, but also considers it “essential” that people “have no qualms about asking for help at a given moment of helplessness.”
