We @ICRC are shocked & appalled by the images & reports coming from Al-Shifa hospital in #Gaza.
The unbearably desperate situation for patients & staff trapped inside must stop. Now.
Hospitals, patients, staff & health care must be protected. Period.

"Women and children were living safely in their apartments and were caught in the rubble that we can see behind us. It is heartbreaking...I hope this is the last time I am coming to witness yet again the humanitarian impact of another cycle of violence." @RMardiniICRC

Love following the #AroundAfrica messages from all over the continent, like Mathew’s message below. South Sudan is a special place indeed.

[ICRC South Sudan @ICRC_SSudan]

“Majority of the people talk about Africa as the “Dark Continent”, but Africa has a lot to offer,” said Mathew Guit-Guit, ICRC Economic Security Officer.

He says just like Africa, #SouthSudan is gifted and has unlimited potential for its people.

I’m asking New Zealand not to forget, and not to brush this aside.

Our colleague Jocelyne from the #croixrouge #centrafricaine outlining the challenges facing women in CAR and the work of the CRCA towards addressing these. Increasing the number of female volunteers being an important step in reaching more community members. #IWD2021

Such sad news out of Yemen. Thinking of our all of our ICRC Yemen whānau.

[ICRC @ICRC]

We are profoundly saddened that two of our colleagues were among those killed in Aden's airport explosion.

One other colleague is still unaccounted for.

This is a tragic day for many families in Yemen. https://t.co/yGMohzjbDR

Nous dénonçons l’attaque de notre bureau à #Bouar et appelons au respect des humanitaires et populations en #Centrafrique.

A chaque fois que nous sommes attaqués, c'est notre capacité à délivrer de l'aide qui est compromise.

Les violences continuent en #Centrafrique dans plusieurs localités au nord-ouest, à l'ouest et depuis lundi à #Bambari, au sud-est.

Hier nous avons évacué une quinzaine de blessés à l'hôpital de Bambari et transporté trois corps sans vie à la morgue.

@Rachinthetron Aw I miss NZ ❤️

“As if we are all in a staring contest that nobody told half the population about, a contest hinged in a subtle form of psychological violence.” Very well written overview on the range of violence women face in Pakistan, including this not-to-be-underestimated constant staring.

[Fatima Bhojani @Fatima_Bhojani]

With support from @IWMF, I wrote about the patriarchy in Pakistan, a vastness that permeates everything around you, in ways both nebulous and concrete https://t.co/NZWBJUalGn

@MABTaylor @GpsMonash Thanks Margie. I hope you’re doing well!

Fascinating thread. Makes me even more appreciative of the 🚲

[Sarah 🍓 @SarahJ_Berry]

I was today years old when I learned that bikes are feminist.

Don’t understand how that can be the case? Here’s a thread explaining why.
