This step is scheduled for November. "These decisions are unavoidable and painful", added Mr. Mardini, who will himself be stepping down in a few months' time at the end of his first term in the post. He noted the "paradox" between these difficulties and growing humanitarian needs.
The ICRC had already announced 1,800 redundancies among some 3,000 job cuts for this year, both at headquarters and in the varidelegations.
