The ICRC office in Gaza, which is surrounded by hundreds of displaced civilians living in tents, was damaged by nearby shelling in Gaza.

Firing so dangerously close to humanitarian structures puts the lives of civilians and humanitarians at risk.

¡En 2024, nuestro compromiso con la búsqueda de personas desaparecidas continúa! 🔍

Por eso, estuvimos en zona rural de #Antioquia, donde recuperamos el cuerpo de una persona que se encontraba desaparecida desde 2018 como consecuencia de los conflictos armados y la violencia.

We @ICRC are alarmed by the dramatic escalation of hostilities in #Israel and #Gaza.
We urgently call on all parties to respect their obligations under international humanitarian law #IHL and take all feasible precautions to protect civilians. https://t.co/OSq0iasR9i

Civilians being killed is unacceptable.

Civilians are not legitimate targets of attack.

They must be protected at all times, as stated by international humanitarian law⚖️
