Organizational Context

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world’s largest humanitarian network, reaching 150 million people each year through its 192 members of National Societies. The organization acts before, during, and after disasters, crises, and health emergencies in order to meet the needs and improve the lives of vulnerable people. IFRC’s work is guided by seven Fundamental Principles (humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity and universality) and by Strategy 2020, which voices the organization’s collective vision and determination to move forward in tackling the major challenges that presently confront humanity.

As one of the five decentralized parts of the IFRC Secretariat, the Asia Pacific Regional Office (APRO) leads the support to National Societies of 38 countries, through eight Country Offices and five Country Cluster Support Teams.

Italy (12,446 cases/827 deaths) and Iran (9,000 cases/429 deaths) continue holding the largest numbers of affected people after China. Several countries are introducing new restrictions of movement, travel bans, closure of educational institutions as well as quarantines for travelers coming from certain countries as precautionary measures.
