Spent morning with @RedCrossLebanon. They are showing up – despite strikes on them.

Under IHL they and all humanitarians must be protected. Healthcare must not be a target.

In awe of this courage from volunteers and communities.

Our ability to support Rohingya refugees & host communities in past 8+ years has been only possible thanks to amazing partnerships & collaboration with key actors.

Thankful to #RRRC @RohingyaResp @IOMBangladesh @UNHCR_BGD & camp agencies for collective efforts.

[Achala Navaratne @AchalaNavaratne]

[Dylan Winder, IFRC @DylanWinderIFRC]

With a ceasefire offering a brief respite from violence, attention must now turn to what happens next. While more aid has begun entering Gaza, it remains far below what is needed. Safe and unimpeded access is vital to ensure help reaches all communities. 👉https://t.co/8Rd0i8N67H

[Farhan Arafin Karim 🇧🇩 @arafin_karim]

The revised #DMC guideline for #CampSettlement was approved in June 2025!
Today, @BDRCS1 co-hosted a dynamic sensitization workshop for Chairpersons & Member Secretaries, boosting DRM coordination with key stakeholders.
Together🤝, we’re enhancing our disaster readiness!

The Fundamental Principles make it possible for the Red Cross and Red Crescent to reach people others cannot. Sonakshi Dey from IFRC Bangladesh shares what the seven Principles mean to her.
