With the tragedy playing out in Gaza and Israel, this is a reminder of how we operate in a conflict.
Our priority is humanitarian access, enabled by our neutrality & the trust we try to enable for all communities in the red cross and red crescent emblems

Refugees should be given 56 days to move on from asylum accommodation to help them restart their lives
