No big organization is perfect, but the people on the front lines here are risking themselves to help others, and the world needs a hell of a lot more of that, not less.
The article states the Red Cross isn't trying to do anything to help the hostages, but that's just plainly not true. They aren't a combat unit. Not much they can do if the terrorists won't give them access:

It’s kind of disturbing. Any organization at the scale of some of these agencies are going to have examples of issues or points of criticism, but the complete discrediting and borderline demonization of humanitarian and human rights groups like the Red Cross, Amnesty International, HRW, Doctors Without Borders, and the UN (WHO, UNICEF, UNRWA, etc) is insane to me.
It seems like it really ramped up during COVID as people tied that to their political identity but it’s concerning to see it hasn’t subsided.
