The theme for World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day 2024 is "I give with joy, and the joy I give is a reward." 

The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is a global humanitarian network of 80 million people that helps those facing disaster, conflict, and health and social problems.

The World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day, we acknowledge the commitment and altruism of the individuals who passionately strive to reduce human distress and uphold the values of compassion, fairness, humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity, and universality. Red Cross and Red Crescent volunteers and staff are often the first to respond to a crisis or disaster. 

On this day, we celebrate those who give their time, and sometimes their lives, to ease the suffering of others and protect their inherent human dignity.
