International Red Cross leader to update crises in Afghanistan, Syria and Mali April 11

Peter Maurer, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), will update the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan, Syria and Mali Thursday, April 11, at 10 a.m. in the Fourth Estate Restaurant.

Armed conflicts in these countries are killing, destroying infrastructure and, in some cases, sending refugees into neighboring countries. Maurer will illustrate some of the key challenges the ICRC faces when responding to acute humanitarian crises amid contemporary armed conflicts.
