Why is the American Red Cross working with the ICRC since it has been so critical of the U.S. militarys treatment of detainees from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts?
A Our goal is serving victims of disaster. The ICRC Web site and family registry services are proven and effective ways to quickly help people re-unite with their loved ones. This system was used during the tsunami disaster with great effect and the American Red Cross is committed to addressing the needs of the evacuees as quickly as possible. Without questioning the merits of the criticism, the American Red Cross believes the evacuees’ efforts to re-unite with loved ones should not be delayed due to unrelated considerations.
