The Red Cross is deploying almost 800 volunteers to the carnival festivities in the Netherlands. According to the aid organization, more and more volunteers are needed. This is mainly due to the large number of events in Limburg and North Brabant, according to the Red Cross. In major cities such as Maastricht, Tilburg, and Breda, carnival is becoming increasingly busy, according to the organization. "The Red Cross also notices this. Our first responders are increasingly dealing with people who need help."
It’s Carnaval season in the Netherlands, and the festivities start today, mainly in the south and some parts of the east of the country. It is also the start of the spring holidays for schools in the south, including the provinces of Zeeland and Limburg, most of Noord-Brabant, and parts of Gelderland.
