Georges Kettaneh, who has served as Secretary General for the Lebanese Red Cross for over 10 years, has been elected to The Standing Commission of the Red Cross Red Crescent during the 34th International Conference of the RCRC held in Geneva on the 30th of October 2024.

A well deserved win for a man who has dedicated all his life to the Lebanese Red Cross, by becoming a volunteer in 1980, then working as an LRC secretary general on building Lebanon’s Emergency Medical Services system as well as leading organizational reforms and improving humanitarian services.

He has played an instrumental role in recent years in managing the emergency relief operations.
