For disaster relief you'll have to find another reputable charity.
- markdown 6y agoThis is not true. The Red Cross in my country, which is an ICRC affiliate, does provide disaster relief. As far as I can tell, this is true across the board. Eg: https://www.redcross.org.au/news-and-media/news/australian-bushfires-how-we-are-using-funds https://www.redcross.org.au/news-and-media/news/australian-b... https://reliefweb.int/report/viet-nam/thai-red-cross-society-s-money-donation-devastating-flooding-and-landslides-central https://reliefweb.int/report/viet-nam/thai-red-cross-society...
- azernik 6y agoMy assumption was that the comment I replied to was directed to Americans, and recommending the ICRC itself as opposed to the ARC.
