2 other aid workers who will never go back home.

2 other aid workers killed while trying to make a difference for many affected by the war.

2 other persons added to the long list of those who are supposed to be spared during war times.

📍 Ukraine | Each time she talks about him, she hopes her voice might guide her grandson home.

Liudmyla’s grandson went missing without a trace. Like many families of the missing in Ukraine, Liudmyla still waiting and hopes for an answer.

We are appalled by the recent videos published of Israeli hostages held in Gaza. We have said from day one, and we reiterate, that all hostages must be released immediately and unconditionally.

All forms of public exposure that humiliate persons deprived of liberty and endanger their safety must be avoided.

This dire situation must come to an end.

[Els Debuf @ElsDebufICRC]

Thank you @CroixRougeLu, @ChambreLux and @MFA_Lu for an intense but inspiring two days of discussions on neutral, independent and impartial humanitarian action, international humanitarian law and the challenges of living and operating in a world undergoing profound change.

[Pierre Krähenbühl @PKraehenbuehl]

Very pleased to meet @Xavier_Bettel & inspired by exchanges in Luxembourg. Amidst proliferating wars & growing impact of digital technologies in #conflict, the strong support from Luxembourg for @ICRC operations and our Delegation for Cyberspace is critical and highly valued.

[ICRC @ICRC]

"If what we see in Gaza, Sudan, eastern Congo, and Ukraine is the future of war, then there is reason to be deeply concerned about the abandonment of the most basic rules.”, @PKraehenbuehl, ICRC's director general, shared with @LeMonde_EN.

The International Committee of the Red Cross calls for immediate protection of civilians and healthcare facilities amid devastating hostilities.

[ICRC @ICRC]

What is a Red Cross Message?

✉️ It’s a piece of paper delivered by our staff and volunteers.
✉️ It’s a last resort for people to contact their families.
✉️ It’s a lifeline for people in prison or separated by conflict.

- It’s hope.

The ICRC in #Syria has been working on the clarification of the fate of separated families for many years and remains committed to alleviating the suffering of those who have been without news about their loved ones.

[Els Debuf @ElsDebufICRC]

We can't stop armed conflicts, but we are committed to making a difference for those affected.

Even wars have limits.

Nature is art 🖼️ Let’s not loose any of it, so we can all keep admiring and enjoying it for generations to come! Protect and support our #Rainforests

[WWF @WWF]

#Rainforests cover only 6% of the Earth’s land surface but are home to over HALF of all the world’s documented #species!

🌲 Many Indigenous communities depend on these natural systems for their livelihoods and culture.

RT this show your love for our amazing rainforests 🙌🏽

🚨Today our team began carrying out a multi-day operation to facilitate the release and transfer of hostages held in Gaza and of Palestinian detainees to the West Bank.

This will include the delivery of additional, much-needed humanitarian assistance into Gaza.
