This comprehensive response to the pandemic makes it possible to cover the population’s basic needs, and includes different interventions in areas such as emergencies, health care, education, social inclusion, psychosocial support, or the improvement of access to employment.  Regarding the forecasts and expectations of the Red Cross against COVID, the president of the Red Cross, Javier Senent, has pointed out that from now on the response will be further intensified in areas such as access to employment or support for school-age minors, without forgetting the vital intervention against the outbreaks that are taking place in the country, all in coordination with the different public administrations.

More than 59,000 people have volunteered for the Red Cross RESPONDE Plan during these months of the pandemic in order to support the most vulnerable people. According to Javier Senent, they are the essential pillar of the Red Cross response to COVID-19 and invites them to continue collaborating in this endeavour: “The COVID-19 pandemic has meant for the Red Cross to be part of a huge wave of solidarity in which thousands of people have been involved; we must be able to continue channelling the solidarity of all the people who want to help and combine responses aimed at facing the health emergency while addressing the consequences of the economic crisis. For this reason, we encourage all the people who want to join the Red Cross volunteering to participate in the response to these problems, ”says Javier Senent.

Among the main actions by areas of the Red Cross RESPONDE, the organization highlights that more than 735,000 people have been assisted from the Social Inclusion area, of which 75% had never gone to the Red Cross before to ask for help, with more than 1, 8 million responses, through actions such as the provision of more than 234,000 kits of food and hygiene products, as well as the delivery of more than 97,000 financial aid to pay for household expenses or supplies. There have also been more than 400,000 calls for follow-up, information and accompaniment to people facing isolation or to carry out procedures or request benefits such as the Minimum Vital Income, for which the Red Cross has made more than 60,000 calls to users who comply with the requirements to request it.

Improving access to employment is one of the priorities in this phase of the Red Cross response as the needs related to job loss are increasing. So far, more than 74,800 people have been assisted from the Red Cross employment plan, with more than 4.6 million responses of information and job orientation, telephone follow-up and employment support to people with the most difficulties to access to the labour market.
