Aid for people in grip of poverty (11.5 million francs)
In Switzerland, the coronavirus pandemic has aggravated the financial situation of those affected by poverty, a scourge that has also become more visible in our country. By the end of 2020, the Swiss Red Cross (SRC) supported 14,000 people in difficulty with a total financial contribution of 11.5 million francs. The CRS stopped disbursement of aid at the end of the year once the available funds were exhausted.
