Which country uses a white flag with a red cross, a symbol that has become famous as the emblem of international humanitarian aid?
Switzerland
The Swiss flag, characterized by its central red cross on a white background, is one of the most recognizable national symbols in the world. This specific configuration was adopted in the 19th century, but the cross itself has played an important role in Swiss identity for much longer. The flag inspired the symbol of the Red Cross, reversing the colors to create a universal emblem of neutrality and aid in times of war. Founded in 1863 by Henry Dunant, a Swiss businessman, the International Red Cross underscores Switzerland's commitment to humanity and global peace, values that resonate deeply within Swiss society.
