ICRC cuts 240 jobs at Geneva headquarters

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) will cut approximately 240 positions at its Geneva headquarters. This decision follows a previously announced 17% budget reduction. The budget cut amounts to 300 million Swiss francs, bringing the total budget for next year to 1.8 billion francs. The organization is facing significant financial challenges. These staff reductions are part of broader financial adjustments the ICRC is implementing to manage its resources effectively in the coming year.
