Civilians must be protected and respected, always.
Parties to conflicts are the only ones with enough power to enforce the rules of war, transform them into reality, and save lives.
She is life.
Our future.
Our responsibility.
She is our ocean. 🌊
Though she faces growing threats, we still have the power to protect her — but we must #ActNow.
Our voices, choices and actions matter.

But it was a ride 😬
When conflict separates families, silence can last for months, sometimes years.
In 2024, nearly 90,500 Red Cross Messages were delivered, helping people separated by conflict reconnect with their loved ones when no other means of communication were possible.
“There’s no food that nourishes you that doesn’t come from the natural world. Every lungful of air that you take is refined by the natural world, oxygen breathed out by plants”
David Attenborough reminds us that we need to protect our wonderful planet🌏

RIP Jools Topp: Jools & Lynda together wrote & sang the songs which both portrayed & challenged New Zealand for decades. Jools will forever live in our hearts. Deepest sympathies to Lynda & family at this very sad time. 💔 https://t.co/fCNJpnkfEa
War is not only fought on frontlines.
It is lived in homes without power, in streets without safety, and in families trying to survive another day.
Respect for civilians and access to aid are not optional; they are essential.
