In conflict-stricken countries, Red Cross movement staff have even lost their lives in service,\u201d Nhlabatsi noted. \u201cHere at home, our challenge is not security, but resources. When disasters affect large numbers of people, our limited supplies are quickly stretched. But that has never stopped us from reaching out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nhlabatsi thanked government ministries, partner agencies, private sector companies, and members of the public who have supported relief efforts, while urging for continued and increased assistance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are deeply grateful to staff, volunteers and community leaders who work relentlessly to bring hope during emergencies. But to meet rising humanitarian needs, we need more in-kind and financial contributions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Society also encouraged citizens to report disasters promptly through community leaders or directly at Red Cross offices in Mahwalala, Manzini, Pigg\u2019s Peak, Nhlangano and Siteki.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQuick reporting allows us to respond faster, which can save lives and reduce suffering,\u201d Nhlabatsi emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>World Humanitarian Day, observed every August 19, recognizes those who dedicate their lives to helping others and reminds the world that humanitarian work depends on collective support.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Eswatini<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
