World: ICRC Overview operations in 2013

This document presents the ICRC's worldwide operational priorities for 2013. It is based on the internal analysis and planning exercise conducted every year, primarily by the ICRC's 80 delegations and missions in the field.

The ICRC is pleased to present its 2013 Emergency Appeals, which describe the situations faced by people affected by armed conflict and other situations of violence, the primary objectives of the ICRC’s field delegations and missions in some 80 countries around the world, and the corresponding budgetary requirements. The Emergency Appeals set out the needs as identified at the time of writing in late October 2012.
