"The Red Cross emblem is always raised high, but now, it has been raised on the highest point on Earth."
With these words, "Lebanese Desert Runner" Ali Wehbe describes his mission to the North Pole, where he raised the Red Cross emblem at 90 degrees, the place known as "the top of the world". This voluntary initiative was a symbolic gift from the Lebanese Red Cross to the ICRC, to mark our 150th anniversary.
