World Red Cross Day, May 8, has been observed in Cameroon with hundreds of Red Cross workers in towns and villages across the central African state asking for greater recognition and protection by their communities. Hundreds of people, including beneficiaries of Red Cross services, humanitarian workers and government officials, assembled at the Yaoundé-headquartered Cameroon Red Cross Society to celebrate the 2022 World Red Cross Day. The Red Cross says such allegations are unfounded and spread by people who are ignorant of Red Cross activities. The government says Red Cross workers have been of great help saving lives in the central African state’s trouble spots. World Red Cross Day is an annual celebration when people pay tribute to the organization for its contribution to helping those in need.
