Red Cross: How Hope Evolved

Nearly 40,000 were either dead, injured, or missing, many of whom were simply left to die on the battlefield. Later,spectators crowded the fields,looking forloved ones, searching foritems they could sell, or simply taking in the horrors of the battle .A Swiss businessman and social activist Jean Henri Dunant, who wastraveling in Solferinowitnessed all this. Jean Henri Dunantwitnessed the atrocities of war as well as the countries not prepared or equipped to ease the suffering of those who had been injured in the Battle of Solferino.Dunant organized a group of volunteers to help bring water and food to the injured, to assist with medical treatment, or write letters to the families of those who were dying and he urged the public to create an organization which would assist the wounded, regardless of which side they fought for during times of war.After that moment, he wrote the book,A Memory of Solferino, which urged the public to create an organization which would assist the wounded, regardless of which side they fought for during times of war. His writinginspired countlessothers to rally behind him in the creation of the International Federation of the Red Cross.The modern-day Red Cross began by devotingitself largely to disaster reliefand epidemic treatment.
