#MochaCyclone is still forming in the Bay of Bengal. Still too early to predict the exact path. #care #bangladesh #MochaCyclone

[Marc Nosbach @NosbachMarc]

Important to monitor this cyclone that’s developing in the Bay of Bengal. Still too early to predict the exact path. As the #ElNino phenomenon is set to return in 2023 - it will increase the chances of cyclones and typhoons in the Pacific…. #Mocha #cyclone #care #bangladesh

The rules of war save lives. They reduce human suffering.

We call on all parties to uphold them – now.

For more 👇 https://t.co/r9pdhztxh8

[ICRC @ICRC]

Red cross red crescent emblems.

They're protective emblems. In conflict, they must only be used for:

✅ Medical staff and facilities, including army medics and vehicles.

✅ Red Cross Red Crescent workers, vehicles, facilities and the humanitarian relief they bring.

[ICRC @ICRC]

Aid workers and humanitarian organizations.

We must be allowed to operate safely. Our work is to bring aid and save lives.

Sanctions and other restrictive measures must be designed to allow humanitarian action to happen.

In all situations, lifesaving aid must not be blocked.

[ICRC @ICRC]

Weapons.

The use of illegal weapons and the illegal use of weapons is prohibited. No ifs or buts.

The use of heavy explosive weapons in populated areas - so in cities - should be avoided.

Civilians only end up paying the price.

[ICRC @ICRC]

Prisoners of war and detainees.

The law states they must be protected. This includes from acts of violence, intimidation, and ill-treatment.

They also must be treated with dignity, and not exposed to public curiosity – like circulating images on social media.

[ICRC @ICRC]

The sick and wounded.

They must be cared for, regardless of the side they’re on.

Parties to the conflict must also recover and identify those who have died and facilitate their return – in a dignified manner.

We can assist by acting as a neutral intermediary.

[ICRC @ICRC]

Civilian infrastructure.

This is schools, hospitals, civilians’ homes, water plants that supply clean water, and electricity lines.

Basically, everything that civilians need to go about their daily lives.

These are also not a target. We cannot stress this enough.

[ICRC @ICRC]

Combatants.

Combatants must distinguish themselves from civilians in all military operations by wearing identifiable insignia and carrying arms openly. This helps protect civilians from harm.

Combatants must respect the rules of war. Period.

[ICRC @ICRC]

Civilians.

👉 They cannot be attacked.
👉 They must be protected.
👉 They are not a target.

Whatever wording you use – the message is the same. It is illegal.

[ICRC @ICRC]

We’ve received thousands of questions on the Geneva Conventions.

So, we’re going to break down the rules of war you need to know right now.

All states have signed these – and are legally obligated to follow them.

Bangladesh produces 0.56% of global carbon emissions but has suffered the devastating impacts of rising seas, floods, and intensifying cyclones.

The latest @IPCC_CH report has confirmed what CARE and partners witness daily: climate change impacts are here. We must act now!

Der #UkraineKrieg eskaliert von Tag zu Tag weiter! Mittlerweile sind über 1 Mio. Menschen aus der #Ukraine geflohen, 450.000 davon nach #Polen. "Wenn der Krieg weitergeht, wird es nichts mehr geben. Es ist ein blutiger, monströser Krieg", sagt die Ukrainerin Kotove.
