The International Red Cross is primarily focused on humanitarian efforts, including the protection of individuals in armed conflicts and the provision of assistance to those in need. However, it does not specifically "work to get US POWs out of prison" as its role is more about advocating for the humane treatment of all prisoners of war, regardless of nationality.
To clarify the other options:
- The International Red Cross is headquartered in Switzerland, not The Netherlands.
- It has close ties and works alongside the Red Crescent, but they have not merged as separate entities.
- While humanitarian relief is a core function, the organization also engages in other activities, such as disaster response, health services, and promoting international humanitarian law.
