Jerome Clarke, the president of the Liberian National Red Cross SocietyMonrovia – Jerome Clarke, the president of the Liberian National Red Cross Society (LNRCS) says the lack of financial support from the government is causing serious challenges for them to deliver help to those who need it desperately. The LNRCS was created by an act from the Legislature with the aim of helping vulnerable people in difficult circumstances at all times. Speaking to journalists on Tuesday at the head office in the preparedness of this year World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day 2021, the president of the LNRCS said having given birth to the Liberian Red Cross Society years back, it is the obligation of the government to support and provide pieces of advice to the institution. The president of the Liberian Red Cross added that there is a situation of Ivorian refugees coming into the coming and they are in dire need but there is no support to go such a distance to take care of the refugees. “But one the thing that has not changed over the past years is the support provided by the Liberian Red Cross Volunteers who are in communities every day helping with awareness-raising and promotion of hand washing, and encouraging community people on the use of facemask.
