While most from NGOs are pulling out their projects in the villages, Nepal Red Cross Society (NRCS) remains the only organisation to work in all 75 districts of Nepal, even in the most Maoist affected areas. Already 17 Red Cross workers have lost their lives, more than 50 have been abucted by Maoists. In addition, they are constantly subject to harassment from the security forces as well. Despite all this, NRCS has not stopped work anywhere in Nepal. Officials say that they can still work safely compared to what they face in other countries affected by civil war like Kashmir and Jaffna.
