Red Cross relief is direct gift not loan says officer

Red Cross disaster relief is always a direct grant, not a loan, says Mr. Nicholson. Aid is given to meet actual needs the sufferer cannot meet, regardless of the extent of loss. Eligibility depends on individual hardship and ability to cover disaster-caused needs, not merely total damages. Two neighbors with similar losses may receive different aid based on personal resources.
