 When war breaks out many people pick sides But that's something the International Committee of the Red Cross does not do Our mission comes from the Geneva Conventions Universal laws that preserve a degree of humanity even in the worst of times They call for civilians to be spared and the wounded cared for by not picking a side We build trust with all those fighting. This allows us to deliver food medicine and water across front lines Help civilians get safely out of war zones and share news with loved ones separated by violence Our work is to limit people's suffering No matter who they are or what side of the fighting they are on we take action not sides
