Those poor users who are not familiar with Phishing links will click the link which will open a fake page and once they put their email and password in the login form, the data will be redirected to a server hosted on Ethiopian Red Cross site and the login details will be compromised. 

Here is the screenshot of how the fake Google page looks like, so that readers can secure their email before getting into further trouble.

I hope this will keep the users away from getting their Gmail hacked, meanwhile the Red Cross is looking into the matter and hope that they will be able to secure their site from hackers this time because this is not the first time when Ethiopian Red Cross site is compromised, in past on March 18th, 2012 it was hacked and defaced by Cocain TeaM.
