Question

The Red Cross helps with relief work when there are epidemics. __________
True or false

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Diarrhoea, meningitis, yellow fever, respiratory infections, polio and several other infectious disease epidemics kill enormous numbers of people every year. An outbreak of an epidemic is more likely in underdeveloped countries where the living conditions are poor and there are lots of people. Difficult circumstances make it even more difficult to control the epidemic and arrange efficient healthcare.  

In cases of epidemics, the Red Cross always seeks to complement the work of health authorities and works in close cooperation with UN organisations, amongst others. Red Cross volunteers play a pivotal role in preventing the spread of disease. In addition, they ensure that those who fall ill get medical attention.

Hope this helps you.
