The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) is a national humanitarian society that provides a wide range of health, social and other humanitarian services for the Palestinian People throughout the Middle East.
PRCS was established on 26 December 1968. In 1969 the Palestinian National Council (PNC) mandated the Society the responsibility for health and social services for Palestinian people inside and outside Palestine. To-date, PRCS continues its activities in Palestine (along side the Ministry of Health and other NGOs), Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Iraq and other locations.
The Society also maintains offices in Europe and North America.
PRCS is a full member in the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).
