Dunant deserved to get the nobel peace prize because without Red Cross there would be more people getting sick or hurt. The Red Cross is good because people decided to work for it voluntarily.This a great cause because every time you donate towards it, it is a great feeling knowing that you may’ve saved someone's life. Although he had done great no one can live forever.
