History of Red Crossand Red Crescent Movement –
Young Swiss businessman,Jean Henry Dunant was appalled by the condition of the wounded soldiers hehappened to see in the battle field of Solferino , Italy in 1859 during theFranco - Austrian war. He arranged relief services with the help of the local communityimmediately. He wrote the book 'Memory of Solferino' suggesting that a neutralorganization be established to aid the wounded soldiers in times of war. Just ayear after the release of this book, an international conference was convenedin Geneva to consider the suggestions of Henry Dunant and thus the Red CrossMovement was born. International Red Cross Movement was established by GenevaConvention of 1864. The name and the emblem of the movement are derived fromthe reversal of the Swiss national flag, to honor the country in which RedCross was found.
