Description
This stamp celebrates humanitarian action through a major icon of protective heritage: the Khamsa (hand of Fatma). Inside this traditional hand, which here symbolizes benevolence and help, is inserted an eye containing the terrestrial globe and the red crescent. The message “The Red Crescent everywhere and for all” reinforces the values of solidarity and universalism carried by this institution in Tunisia. By diverting a cultural symbol of protection against fate to associate it with medical and social aid, the designer underlines the deep anchoring of humanitarian aid in Tunisian identity and spiritual values.
