When heavy #explosive #weapons hit cities, the visible horrors are just the beginning.
❌No power, no water, no supply chains, no food, no healthcare.
❌ The consequences multiply, like a chain reaction.
💔 Even wars have rules.

International Children's Day reminds us that every child should be safe, surrounded by love and care.

The rules of war provide special protection to children, recognizing their particular vulnerability during armed conflicts.

For every parent, losing sight of the child - even for a few minutes - is the worst nightmare. Yet, for families affected by conflict or natural disaster it is a daily reality, one that can last for years.

1/👩‍🏫Yesterday, we hosted a group of 6th-grade school students from the Shirakatsy Lyceum at our delegation. As part of their school project, students Artyom and Rafael presented their classmates the basic rules of war and the history behind the establishment of the ICRC.

[ICRC Armenia @ICRC_am]

No child should lose their childhood to conflict. Even though children are beneficiaries of 40% of our protection and assistance activities, no assistance will be enough if parties to conflicts don't respect them.

For families separated by armed conflict, the Red Cross Message can mean everything:
✉️I am alive.
✉️ I think about you every minute.
✉️ I can’t wait to see you.
In 2024, nearly 90,500 Red Cross Messages were delivered, helping people reconnect with their loved ones.

[ICRC Armenia @ICRC_am]

In armed conflicts and violence, even being safe from physical danger does not mean being completely out of harm.
The difficult events seen and lived through can leave psychological scars for years to come, requiring psychosocial support.

How does that feel, being forced to wait for someone you care a few minutes, even hours? Now imagine what the families of #missingpersons feel․

Today is the International Day of Families. Across the world, we continue connecting families torn apart by armed conflict.

[ICRC Armenia @ICRC_am]

In an interview with @CivilNetTV, the head of our delegation, @DaphneeMar , spoke about the activities of the #ICRC, the missing persons, the persons detained in relation to the conflict notified to the ICRC by the Azerbaijani authorities.
