Youth Day in China falls on May 4. It originates from the Chinese patriotic campaign against imperialism i.e. the May Fourth Movement in 1919. In December 1949, the Government Administration Council officially announced May 4 to be Youth Day of the People's Republic of China.
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (RCRC Movement) on Sunday pledged to increase assistance for more than 1.5 million Iraqis displaced as a result of continuous fighting in the war-torn country.
