Presentation of the Red Cross
As a major player in the social and solidarity economy, the French Red Cross manages a network of more than 600 institutions and services in the health, medico-social and training sectors. It is also the head of 12 regional institutes for health and social training.

Just as in the professions that’elle develops and implements in France, the French Red Cross at’international inscribes all its missions in a sustainable humanitarian action plan. This is reflected in an articulation of the activities of’urgency, post-emergency, crisis exit and reconstruction aimed at the best efficiency. The’objective is to carry out actions with lasting effects and to allow the populations to regain their full autonomy.
Our association is also committed to strengthening its presence and promoting its priority commitments within the International Movement.
By joining us, you will share our commitment and ethics and develop your skills.
Context of the mission
On September 8, 2023, an earthquake shook Morocco causing nearly 3,000 deaths and 6,000 injuries. The Moroccan Red Crescent and the CR/CR Movement are immediately on the ground, in close coordination with local authorities, to’ assess the situation and provide assistance to those affected.
The French Red Cross is quick to mobilize in response to the crisis. On September 9, 2023, a call for donations is launched with the aim of contributing, as part of the response of the CRCR Movement, to the relief actions on the spot, and to supply basic necessities.
The CRf then organizes, in early October, an exploratory mission to meet the Moroccan Red Crescent (MRCS) to support the emergency response to the earthquake. After identifying the needs not covered and defining the modalities of cooperation, the French Red Cross wants to support the Moroccan Red Crescent and act by opening a delegation on the spot.
