SOUTH SUDAN: Volunteers for the newly formed South Sudan Red Cross went out on their very first operation – monitoring and assisting people attending the celebrations to mark the birth of the Republic of Southern Sudan.
PAKISTAN: Volunteers are helping families prepare to face the oncoming monsoon season.
YEMEN: Since mid-June, the ICRC and the Yemen Red Crescent Society have provided aid for more than 17,500 people who have escaped the fighting in Abyan and settled in Lahj.
ZIMBABWE: Medical equipment donated by the ICRC is helping bring newborn babies back to life.
