Red Cross: How Hope Evolved
On June 24, 1859, Emperors Napoleon III and Franz Joseph I engaged in
the Battle of Solferino, commanding a combined total of about 270,000
troops onto the field for a single day of battle. 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 for loved ones,
searching for items they could sell, or simply taking in the horrors of the battle
A Swiss businessman and social activist Jean Henri Dunant, who was
traveling in Solferino witnessed 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 writing inspired countless others to rally
behind him in the creation of the International Federation of the Red Cross.
The modern-day Red Cross began by devoting itself largely to disaster relief
and epidemic treatment. This effort continues to this day. One of the easiest
ways you can help the Red Cross is to make sure you are able to donate
blood and make an appointment at the Red Cross website. But, donating
blood isn't the only way you can help out—the Red Cross also encourages
donating your time if you can. This is what the Red Cross wants everyone to
know.
