Is MRC going to assist communities only for natural disasters?
MRC in its growing capacity will strive to provide social services under its core areas which cover reducing vulnerabilities at a community based level, not just assistance in natural disasters. National societies of other countries and IFRC aided the large scale Tsunami recovery due to the absence of a Maldivian Red Crescent at the time. Such assistance by the Movement is guaranteed in future if the registered Maldivian society requests so in its under-capacity to deal with another unfortunate disaster such as the Tsunami in 2004.
