(1/3)Years ago, I was listening to @NicoleFerroniZe 's voice shaking on the radio: "#War is not that far away. War is not a “somewhere else” thing. War can look like a “Here and Now”, that we take and we smash. It is taking a present and reducing it to ashes."

[International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) @ICRC]

Nelson Mandela once said that "a nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones.” Decades later, his words carry urgent relevance, especially in armed conflict, where places of detention represent a hidden humanitarian frontline.

Ralph Wehbe, ICRC's head of the People Deprived of Liberty unit, explains why independent humanitarian access to places of detention matters, what the Mandela Rules and international humanitarian law require, and why humanity cannot stop at the prison gate👇🏽

[ICRC Ukraine @ICRC_ua]

In times of armed conflict, we know that ensuring safe and sustainable access to essential services can be a challenge.

That's why in Ukraine we provide emergency assistance to help people meet their basic needs.

Together with @SRCS_SD, we have delivered two hot daily meals to 500 patients at Gedaref Hospital for 3 months.
"The meal is highly nutritious, which is important for children, particularly when we are facing the burden of medical expenses," says a mother of a patient.

📍Sudan | Our mobile surgical team at the Atbara Teaching Hospital is seeing a surge in patients with conflict-related injuries—some traveling 10 days to reach care. We don’t know how many have died along the way.

Medical facilities and access to healthcare must be protected 👇🏽

The ICRC in #Syria has been working on the clarification of the fate of separated families for many years and remains committed to alleviating the suffering of those who have been without news about their loved ones.

[International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) @ICRC]

Today is International Volunteer Day, and we honor all those who dedicate their lives to helping others.

Instead of celebrating, we are mourning the death of a @PalestineRCS volunteer and last week, one from @SYRedCrescent.

We call for respect, protection and safe access.

[Pierre Krähenbühl @PKraehenbuehl]

In a world of proliferating wars, we need robust and protective #IHL – that saves lives rather than explains away death.

Every 4 years, @ICRC presents the most pressing humanitarian and legal issues in the ‘Challenges Report’.

Healthcare workers save lives. Under international humanitarian law #IHL, they must be protected.

Even wars have limits.

[Christian Cardon de Lichtbuer @CCardondeL]

Tonight, distress and panic continue to spread among people across the middle-east.

This alarming situation, which has already led to far too many killings, injuries and displacement, is reaching unprecedented levels.

The rules of war must be respected.

[International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) @ICRC]

It’s not just bullets and rockets that cause harm in armed conflicts. Spreading false or misleading information does too, making the work of humanitarians even harder—and it’s the people in need who suffer the most.

"We must see the Council’s rhetorical support for international humanitarian law (IHL) put into action. You determine whether the Geneva Conventions are a tool for peace that saves lives".
