We are deeply troubled that our humanitarian convoy in Gaza City came under fire today. It was carrying lifesaving medical supplies to health facilities, including Al Quds @PalestineRCS hospital.
Under IHL, humanitarian workers must be protected.

More than 7000 persons are still missing from the #BiH war 1992-1995. The #RedCross, together with relatives, international community and citizens sends a unified message: Families have the right to know what happened to their loved ones!

Today, the ICRC BIH donated 27 GPS devices and six laptops to the Missing Person Institute in BiH. Through donation, we are aiming to speed up the process of searching for the more than 7000 people still missing from the conflict in 1992-1995. https://t.co/1waBWUKjxG
Her husband's remains were found in a mass grave, but Hajra knows nothing about her son Nino's fate.
His hand-written poem was found in woods where he was last seen in July 1995. It is one of the very few belongings she has from Nino. https://t.co/gEGb3vELfj
On 18 May 1992, our dear friend and colleague Frédéric Maurice was killed attempting to enter Sarajevo with an #ICRC convoy. Every year, we remember him and all humanitarian workers who lost their lives while helping others #NotATarget
