New Zealand Red Cross - Detachments

Detachments

These are just some of the places where the 'New Zealand Red Cross have sent volunteers and supplies for various disasters and conflicts. The traditional areas of activity by the New Zealand Red Cross are Asia and Africa although new regions require the Red Cross' assistance, particularly since 1990 include Europe (e.g. former Yugoslavia), Central Asia (e.g. Tadjikistan) and the Caucasus (e.g. Chechnya). In many of these countries ethnic conflict and societal collapse have resulted in millions requiring external assistance (i.e. Red Cross assistance from not only New Zealand but organizations from all over the globe.)
