Today, on #WorldHumanitarianDay, we honor the volunteers and staff of @SYRedCrescent who stand together on the frontlines of every crisis in Syria.
On behalf of @ifrc, we thank you.
You are the strength of the humanitarian response in Syria.

. @_JNRCS held a workshop for Addustour Newspaper staff on using #AI tools in graphic design, focusing on creating impactful infographics and improving digital content. The initiative aimed to enhance journalists' skills in modern media production. Great job colleagues
Visited wildfire-affected areas in Lattakia yesterday. Impressed by the tireless efforts of @SYRedCrescent teams working side by side with local authorities and emergency services to protect lives and contain the damage. With the support from @IFRC_DREF, we continue to scale up the response and recovery.
Communities need continued support to tackle compound crises.
In the West Bank, the situation is deteriorating. Buildings are being destroyed, leaving many families without their home and belongings. @PalestineRCS volunteers, are hindered by movement restrictions making it difficult for them to provide critical life-saving aid. (1/2)
Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, the injured, and their families.
@SYRedCrescent teams continue to serve with courage and dignity saving lives across Syria.
Great to meet with European Commissioner for Equality, Preparedness and Crisis Management @hadjalahbib.
With humanitarian aid under huge pressure, the IFRC strongly values its partnership with the EU. Grounded in principled humanitarian action, we're always working together on innovative ways to save lives and restore dignity wherever needed, and support National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies build resilient communities around the world.
Thanks for your visit, and for your commitment on localisation, innovations and protection of humanitarian workers, Commissioner!
@ifrc partners with @YemenCrescent, supported by #ECHO_PPP funding, to help 10,000 people in the Dhamar Governorate stay ahead of the devastating impacts of heavy rains and floods through lifesaving anticipatory action.

The ECHO PPP Lessons Learned Workshop in Congo has concluded with powerful insights. With CRC @CroixB95966 leadership and IFRC’s technical support, we captured key lessons in disaster preparedness, epidemic response & community engagement.
@eu_echo@IFRCAfrica
Thank you @qatar_fund DG Mr Al-Sulaiti and @QRCS SG Mr Al Emadi for the thoughtful discussions on current regional & global challenges, and importantly future collaboration to do more jointly.
Our aid workers were killed and thrown into a mass grave in Gaza. Our staff’s red uniforms should have protected them. Instead they became their death shrouds.
This should never happen again. For the sake of humanity.
My op-ed in @guardian: https://t.co/Z48tdRdkq6
In MENA region, where disasters strike fast and hard, we must act faster.
Eerlier today, @SYRedCrescent has provided the national hospitals in Dara'a and Nawa with trauma and emergency surgical kits supported by @IFRC_MENA. This was carried out in coordination with the Ministry of Health and it enables both hospitals to perform 100 emergency surgical operations.
Our commitment as @ifrc is and will always be to strengthen national societies local capacity, scale early action, and speed up response.
Together with colleagues around the world, we observed a minute of silence to honour the memory of the eight Palestinian Red Crescent @PalestineRCS medical staff who were killed in the line of duty in Gaza.
Humanitarian workers must be protected.
We reiterate: we are #NotATarget.
The @IFRC launched an emergency appeal for 100 million CHF to contribute to the relief efforts after the devastating earthquake in Myanmar.
We are grateful to our partners & donors who will help scale up our collective support to the affected communities. https://t.co/s89oZl2Gd8
