@jagan_chapagain@PalestineRCS Attacks on humanitarian personnel and facilities are unacceptable. International humanitarian law must be respected—always. Humanitarian space must be protected, not targeted.
@jagan_chapagain@PalestineRCS Heartbreaking news. I stand in full solidarity with the Palestine Red Crescent Society and all humanitarian workers who continue to serve in unimaginable conditions. My deepest condolences to the family of Omar Aslim and to all those affected.

Tropical Storm #Chido in Madagascar has intensified to a Category 3 Tropical Cyclone and is expected to begin impacting Madagascar's coastal and mainland regions in the coming days. It is also likely to affect Mozambique, another country highly prone to disasters.
Our IFRC network teams are on high alert. Teams from @CruzVermelhaMOZ are closely monitoring the situation while volunteers from @MadaRedCross are working with local communities, raising awareness about preparedness in anticipation of Tropical Storm #Chido.
Both Madagascar and Mozambique have endured harmful cyclone seasons over the past years. Early Warning and Anticipatory Action are essential to the work of our teams, helping communities prevent and reduce disaster impacts.
Congratulations to the President of the Seychelles, Mr. Wavel Ramkalawan for being bestowed with the Africa Freedom Award Prize 2024 of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation. It has been a long and tedious journey to democracy.
This week, leaders from @IFRC@ICRC & National Societies will gather for the 2024 Statutory Meetings to address the world's most pressing challenges and provide a tangible path for action:
▪️ to strengthen communities
▪️ to support the vulnerable
▪️ to build a stronger future
Today, we commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Geneva Conventions, a cornerstone of international humanitarian law that has provided protection and dignity to millions affected by armed conflict.
As we mark this milestone, we reaffirm our support to the @ICRC, for their unwavering dedication to upholding the principles of these Conventions.
Yet, our work is far from over. In a world where conflicts continue to cause immense suffering, the Geneva Conventions are more relevant than ever. They remind us of our shared humanity and our collective responsibility to safeguard the dignity and rights of all people, even in the darkest of times.
The IFRC remains committed to these principles and in our support to ICRC to uphold them. #GenevaConventions #HumanitarianLaw
My urgent plea to the parties to the conflict in Israel and Gaza.
@ICRC is ready with medicine and other relief items. Entry must be granted, and our teams in Gaza must be allowed to work safely and effectively.
The situation is critical.
