Red Cross chief defends NHS 'humanitarian crisis' claim

The head of the Red Cross has defended his claim that the National Health Service is facing a "humanitarian crisis" due to Government cuts. Mike Adamson told Sky News he was "not trying to embarrass anyone" but hospitals are "feeling the pressure" amid "increasingly chaotic situations". The phrase "humanitarian crisis" is often used to describe situations in war zones, natural disasters and disease outbreaks such as Ebola.
