📍 DR Congo | After more than a year apart, Mafille is finally reunited with her mother, thanks to the joint efforts of the Red Cross in the DRC and the ICRC.

In Ituri, where armed violence continues to force families apart, those separated by conflict can still find their way back to each other ♥️

[ICRC @ICRC]

📍 Cambodia – Thailand | Today, we supported as a neutral humanitarian observer the release and repatriation of 18 prisoners of war detained in relation to the international armed conflict between Cambodia and Thailand.

The release operation enabled prisoners of war to be returned to Cambodia from Thailand.

Preventing separation, restoring contact between family members and clarifying the fate of missing persons remains a core activity for the RCRC movement.

These horrific attacks must stop and international humanitarian law must be respected.

Le 24 juin 1859, Henry Dunant a été témoin des horreurs de la bataille de #Solferino, en Italie.

Pour continuer à soutenir les personnes touchées par les conflits armés, il a co-créé en 1863 le CICR et a mis en place le plus grand réseau humanitaire au monde. 👇🏽

Thousands of families are waiting to hear news from their loved ones affected by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

When we have access to prisoners of war, we work to restore contact between them and their family.

This is Iryna's story 👇🏽

ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric addresses the UN Security Council in New York, calling on states to turn their rhetoric support for international humanitarian law into action. It is possible to protect civilians in war.

Establishing a mechanism for the #missing persons is the first step towards providing families in #Syria with the answers they have been waiting for too long. For families of the missing, time does not heal; answers do.

@ICRC Operations Director speaks from Khafsa water station, where recent hostilities caused the injury of 2 staff members. The staff play a key role to ensure work continues uninterrupted there.

When any harm comes to them or the water station, the impact is on millions.

[ICRC @ICRC]

Both IHL & Islamic law emphasize the protection of human dignity, even during conflicts. They share a commitment to safeguarding civilians & ensuring ethical conduct during hostilities.

Two fundamental resolutions on international humanitarian law adopted at the International #RedCrossRedCrescent Conference!
☑️Creating a universal culture of compliance with #IHL
☑️Protecting civilians against the human cost of #ICT activities in armed conflicts
#RCRC24

[Cordula Droege @CDroegeICRC]

The human cost of war in cities is unacceptable. States & parties to conflict must change the way they conduct urban warfare, improve respect for #IHL & strengthen legal & policy frameworks.
Today's solemn appeal from the #RedCross #RedCrescent:

[Olivier Ray @Olivierray]

Impressive to witness the collective work & quality dialogue between 191 national societies, their Secretariat @ifrc & the @ICRC to converge on solutions to address contemporary humanitarian challenges - in support of the communities affected by crises and violence. #Humanity

[Marisela Silva Chau @masilvachauICRC]

In the context of ongoing peaks of armed violence in #Haiti, the #ICRC reminds all on the need to protect and respect the life & integrity of the population, the medical and humanitarian missions, including the Red Cross ones, their infrastructure and means of transport.

[Marie-Servane Desjonqueres @msdjkrICRC]

As we look to the future, adherence to international humanitarian law must be prioritized. These rules are not mere formalities; they are vital components of a humane response to conflict - @FCarboniICRC https://t.co/1ihQ3eyXMm

The handful of hospitals still working in #Gaza must be preserved.

Nasser, the European Gaza & the Palestinian Red Crescent Al-Amal deliver lifesaving medical care in extraordinarily difficult circumstances.

Keeping them functioning & protected is a humanitarian imperative.

[Patrick Youssef @PYoussefICRC]

I’m shocked beyond belief… this attack on a humanitarian convoy claimed the lives of two people and injured seven more including three ICRC staff members!

The parties to the conflict must never target the Red Cross and Red Crescent emblems.

.@ICRC mourns the loss of our colleague Abdellatif Ali Moussa who was killed in Gaza along with several family members.

The toll of this conflict on frontline workers is unacceptable.

Humanitarian workers and civilians are not part of the fight. They must be protected.
