“PRCS teams save lives every day; their emergency medical teams must be protected while helping civilians during armed conflict. By working together, we help alleviate human suffering caused by conflict.”

📍West Bank
“This project will reduce losses and helps improve our lives,” shared Nasr Mizher, head of the Deir Nidham village council after the ICRC helped improve the village’s access to water.

"Life for civilians in Gaza remains deeply challenging. Despite the ceasefire, fighting continues with people injured, killed, or displaced every day."

Amani Al Naouq explains that humanity must be preserved and that civilians in Gaza must be able to live their lives in dignity.

Hebron has faced movement restrictions for decades, making it even harder for Hamdi to attend school.
He taught himself graphic design at home, then joined an ICRC vocational training programme. Today, he is planning his own business. Read more here 👇 https://t.co/6gGpRM5ClE

Aseel was counting down to her wedding. Instead, she woke up to an explosion, and by morning, she had lost her home and her leg. Through rehabilitation and a prosthetic limb, she walked into her wedding with strength. Read the full story here👇 https://t.co/eLDPJNSKVa

Living in Hebron’s H2 area is challenging. H2 residents need to cross multiple checkpoints to go to work or return home. These checkpoints separate them from the rest of the city, and significantly affect access to health care, basic services and livelihoods.

📍Occupied West Bank | In areas affected by armed conflict, children are losing something they can never recover: their education.

Ahmed, a teacher from the Occupied West Bank, shares how the war has transformed his life and the lives of his students. 👇🏽

For decades, Palestinian families in the area relied on farming as a primary source of food and income. Yet, over the years, agricultural activities declined due to multiple challenges. This left the valley quiet and relatively abandoned.

[ICRC in Israel & OT @ICRC_ilot]

Water access and livelihood support are helping Palestinian farmers return to their land in Ein Al-Zarqa, West Bank. New water infrastructure and cash grants are reviving agriculture, income and community life. Read the full article here 👇 https://t.co/1c50JagBi1

Parties to a conflict must take all possible measures to search for, collect, and evacuate the dead, regardless of who they are, and have a responsibility to make every effort to identify them.
Families should know the fate & whereabouts of their loved ones.

📍Gaza

While humanitarian aid is entering #Gaza, needs remain vast. It’s not just about getting assistance across the border; it’s about ensuring it reaches those who need it most.
We repeat our call for full and unimpeded humanitarian access.

[Mohammad A Hamayel @M_Hamayel]

In Gaza, families are living in makeshift shelters that offer little protection against the harsh weather conditions, without adequate privacy, safety or dignified living conditions. Surviving conflict is one battle — surviving winter is another. Read more

[ICRC in Israel & OT @ICRC_ilot]

Severe winter weather is worsening the humanitarian crisis in #Gaza. More than two years of conflict has shattered infrastructure, and now freezing temperatures and heavy rains pose a life-threatening risk for displaced people. Read the full article here👇https://t.co/AtF7Wccjzv

[ICRC in Israel & OT @ICRC_ilot]

100 days since the ceasefire, people in #Gaza continue to face immense suffering.
They need an end to the violence. They need urgent humanitarian assistance. Winter extremes and flooding only make the daily struggle to survive harder.

[ICRC in Israel & OT @ICRC_ilot]

We are glad to work hand in hand with @PalestineRCS and inaugurate today the newly rehabilitated emergency department (ED) at Al-Amal Hospital that was damaged during hostilities. It was upgraded, increasing ED capacity by 40% & improving triage during mass casualty incidents

[Mohammad A Hamayel @M_Hamayel]

The olive harvest has been beset on all sides with challenges. Whether due to restrictions of movement, difficulty accessing land, or even the safety of the farmers themselves, the time of celebration during harvests feels distant.

[ICRC in Israel & OT @ICRC_ilot]

Movement restrictions and violence are challenging Palestinian farmers in the West Bank, impacting the annual olive harvest, and with it their economic security.

The ICRC has been working with these farmers to support them.

In the West Bank, the ICRC is supporting displaced families from Jenin, Tulkarem, and Bedouin communities from Frush Beit Dajan.

Through coordinated cash assistance, we help them meet their most urgent needs resulting from displacement.

[ICRC in Israel & OT @ICRC_ilot]

We continue to facilitate the return of the deceased to relevant authorities in both Gaza and Israel at the request of the parties to the conflict, following the recent ceasefire agreement.

سهّلنا يوم البارحة عودةً آمنةً ل 20 رهينة إلى السلطات الإسرائيلية، و1,809 معتقلين فلسطينيين إلى غزة والضفة الغربية.

ندعو إلى مواصلة تنفيذ الاتفاق لتمكين العائلات من استلام جثامين أحبائها لدفنهم دفناً كريماً.

📍Gaza | It is unacceptable for a health facility like Nasser Medical Complex to be damaged in a strike and for medical personnel, journalists, patients & first responders to be killed and injured.

Medical facilities, civilians, journalists & first responders must be protected.

[Mohammad A Hamayel @M_Hamayel]

The medical network in Gaza has been devastated and what remains is severely stretched thin and must be protected. Essential medical supplies are needed and the people in Gaza should be protected from the hostilities that have been intensifying recently.

[ICRC in Israel & OT @ICRC_ilot]

The International Committee of the Red Cross is deeply alarmed by the intensifying hostilities in Gaza City and Jabaliya, which have reportedly caused dozens of deaths and injuries among civilians over the past 36 hours.

[Mohammad A Hamayel @M_Hamayel]

The West Bank has been seeing a jump in attacks on Palestinian communities, making life extremely difficult and the humanitarian situation even worse.

[ICRC in Israel & OT @ICRC_ilot]

The ICRC is concerned about recurrent violence in the West Bank that is resulting in deaths and injuries among local communities.
