Key takeaway The International Federation of Red Cross is working to create a more effective system for international disaster response.
A new campaign has been launched by the International Federation of Red Cross. This initiative involves astronauts and aims to establish a global agreement. The goal is to facilitate international assistance during disasters.
Countries such as Belize, Fiji, Lebanon, and Madagascar are affected by disasters. When a disaster like a flood occurs, help from other countries can be hindered by bureaucratic processes. Further information about this campaign and the proposed treaty is available from the source.
