The ICRC's neutral and independent humanitarian action is constantly facing new challenges. Every year, millions of people around the world are affected by wars and natural disasters. How do we respond? This film captures the commitment of the ICRC and its partners from the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. It focuses on seven situations between 2003 and 2005: the conflict in Darfur, the war in Iraq, Nepal, Yemen, the tsunami in South-East Asia, Chechnya and the earthquake in Pakistan.
