The Red Cross announced Tuesday that it would cut 1,500 jobs over the next year in a drive to slash hundreds of millions in costs owing to a funding crunch.

“Approximately 1,500 jobs worldwide will have to be cut over the coming 12 months,” said the International Committee of the Red Cross.

“The number of people impacted will be minimised as much as possible by reducing positions first and foremost through a recruitment freeze and natural turnover.”
