The ICRC is cutting around 2,900 jobs worldwide (around 15% of its 18,500 positions) due to budget cuts of 17% to CHF 1.8 bn for 2026; a third through voluntary departures and by not filling open positions. Background: funding cuts by donor countries (a focus on defence) and cuts to the US aid programme under Trump.
