The Wall of Time begins in this area. Starting with the birth of the Red Cross in 1863, the wall records for each successive year:

on the left: armed conflicts resulting in the death of more than 10 000 people.
in the middle: epidemics and disasters resulting in the death of more than 1 000 people.
on the right: milestones in the progress of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
