> A simulation activity designed to show young people how the Red Cross responds to emergencies. > There are two versions of the activity, using different scenarios. You can choose from either a disaster zone or war zone. What is Operation Amphibian?

The key issues in both scenarios > Displaced people, driven from their homes, live under constant threat from landmines and snipers (war zone) or terrible flooding (disaster zone). Many children have been separated from their families. > There is a chronic shortage of food and clean water, and a risk of serious disease from lack of hygiene.

The aim of the activity > Participants take roles as members of the Red Cross from around the world. They have to work together to respond to the needs of displaced people. They are led by a local member of the Red Cross from the affected country. > The key needs are shelter and clean running water. They also need to reunite separated families.
