Changes

Owing to the religious significance of the cross, in [[Islam|Islamic]] countries the organization is known as the '''Red Crescent''' and uses the eponymous symbol.  In [[Israel]], a red Star of David is used and the organization is named '''Magen David Adom''' (Hebrew: מגן דוד אדום).  In religious conflict zones involving two (or more) religions the respective symbols are often used side by side.
