Without protection and respect, we cannot save lives.

We call on governments to strengthen the protection of our Red Cross and Red Crescent teams.

We call on the public to raise awareness: humanitarians are not a target.

Without safe and unhindered access, those who need us most are left without help.

Attacks on volunteers and staff weaken entire communities.

Join our call. Together, we must #ProtectHumanity.

[IFRC Disaster Law @Disaster_Law]

On #DisasterRiskReductionDay, we support the role of education in empowering youth for a disaster-free future. 📚🌱

Strong legal frameworks + education = resilience. Together, we can reduce disaster risks and build a safer tomorrow. #IDDRR2024

We support a convention based on the 2016 Draft Articles on the Protection of Persons in Disasters.

It would fill a legal gap, address challenges for millions impacted by disasters, and save lives.
