Maldivian Red Crescent (MRC) has been awarded official
membership of International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent societies
(IFRC) as 187th national society after International Committee of
Red Cross (ICRC) accepted the organisation as a national society.
IFRC will
officially declare the membership of the Maldivian Red Crescent at the 18th
general assembly to be held in Geneva, Switzerland on November 23.
A team from IFRC and ICRC visited the Maldives on September
to analyse the workings of the organisation after MRC applied for the
membership last year.
The Red Cross society of China has donated Rf3.6 million to
Maldivian Red Crescent recently to expand the works carried out in the islands.
