In a previous MH17 Thread (#2 ?) somebody asked relevant questions in regards RED CROSS
and if they were called to the Crash site.
I have not been able to find any information in MSM media about Red Cross in Ukraine and MH17.
This is what I did find, but why were there no reports of Red Cross being alerted to go to the Crash site ?
Can somebody answer or find more MSM links ?

Published in Geneva 22.7.2014:
"(Reuters) - The Red Cross has made a confidential legal assessment that Ukraine is officially in a war, Western diplomats
and officials say, opening the door to possible war crimes prosecutions, including over the downing of Malaysia Airlines MH-17.
"Clearly it's an international conflict and therefore this is most probably a war crime," one Western diplomat in Geneva told Reuters.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is the guardian of the Geneva Conventions setting down the rules of war, and
as such is considered a reference in the United Nations deciding when violence has evolved into an armed conflict."

"The Ukrainian Red Cross Society, in collaboration with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has been responding to the recent outbreaks of violence in Kiev."

Where was the Red Cross during and after the Crash, why were there not Red Cross volunteers pictured at all, did they not get access?
Normally Red Cross Volunteers play a vital role in emergencies...
E.g.

"The American Red Cross is internationally recognized as the leader in disaster relief, but less well known is its role in providing psychological support services to those impacted by disasters, ranging from single family fires to mass fatality incidents. "
"In the fall of 1996, the Congress of the United States passed the Aviation Disaster Family Assistance Act, which gave the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) the responsibility to oversee support services to families of passengers involved in commercial aviation disasters in the United States and its territories. "
"Aviation disasters are not unlike other mass casualty events, in that there is usually a tremendous outpouring of volunteers who wish to contribute their services to help those grieving. Though well meaning, these volunteers can quickly overwhelm those they are trying to help. The Red Cross has developed a system to manage this inflow of volunteers. A Staff Processing Center (SPC) is often set up in or near the relief operations headquarters. All volunteer and paid staff must process in and out of this center. Licenses and credentials are checked"....
Why where there not any reports about the Red Cross in Ukraine ?
