Every year, we help to account for, restore contact between, trace or reunite thousands of family members who lost contact or went missing because of armed conflict, situations of violence or disasters, or in the context of migration.

As next Friday we commemorate the World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day, we reaffirm our commitment to continue reuniting thousands of families around the world.

Ten years ago, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2286 on health care in armed conflicts. The situation is even worse compared to 10 years ago. Today, we mark not an achievement - we mark a failure.

States and all parties to armed conflict must comply with the rules protecting health care. The obligation to “respect and ensure respect” for international humanitarian law requires states not only to abide by these rules themselves, but also to use all possible influence to ensure that other states and parties to conflict do the same.

When hospitals and those who provide care come under attack, we face not only a humanitarian crisis, but a crisis of humanity.

Health care must never be a casualty of war.

Protecting civilians in armed conflict remains an obligation for all parties under international humanitarian law (IHL).

Mirjana Spoljaric, ICRC president, tells @BeckyCNN, after a recent visit to Iran.

📍Mali | When there are violent incidents affecting health care, the impact goes beyond the immediate harm. Fear spreads of seeking care and not being treated.

Vuningoma Dismas, our hospital project manager in Mali, explains how these attacks disrupt services and put more civilian lives at risk.

In Yei Town, Wuji, and Cupera payams in Central Equatoria State, we have provided agricultural inputs, including farming tools and cassava stems, to more than 18,000 people affected by the conflict.

This week, we conducted a workshop for journalists from various media houses in Juba, #SouthSudan, on the use of inclusive and respectful language when referring to persons with disabilities. #SSoT.

[ICRC South Sudan @ICRC_SSudan]

In 2025, together with the @SSRCS, we repaired 72 handpumps in cooperation with the SSRC, restoring access to water for over 36,000 IDPs and distributed water filters to about 6,500 households in #SouthSudan.

[ICRC Africa @ICRC_Africa]

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.

[ICRC South Sudan @ICRC_SSudan]

We provided information sessions on International Humanitarian Law and International Humanitarian Rights Law to 670 members of the military and non-state armed groups, as well as 762 members of the police and security forces in #Southsudan in 2025. #IHL. #SSoT.

[ICRC Africa @ICRC_Africa]

During armed conflict, damage to water infrastructure has devastating consequences for civilians and the environment.

💧On #WorldWaterDay, stronger protection and respect for international humanitarian law remain critical.

During a recent visit, ICRC Deputy Director for Africa James Reynolds shared on the humanitarian situation and concerns about the growing needs. ⬇️

[ICRC @ICRC]

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.

[ICRC South Sudan @ICRC_SSudan]

In 2025, we carried out more than 4,500 surgical operations on weapon-wounded patients at the ICRC-supported hospitals in Renk, Juba, Akobo, and Malakal in #SouthSudan.

[ICRC Africa @ICRC_Africa]

Across the world, families separated by war live with the pain of not knowing the fate of a loved one. The uncertainty does not end with time.

We work to help families reconnect and to clarify the fate of the missing. Because every family has the right to know.

[ICRC @ICRC]

International humanitarian law is clear: Civilians and civilian infrastructure providing essential services must be protected.

Even wars have limits.

[ICRC South Sudan @ICRC_SSudan]

Under international humanitarian law, a clear distinction must be drawn at all times between civilians and persons taking a direct part in hostilities as well as between civilian objects and military objectives. Civilians must never be the object of attacks. #IHL. #SouthSudan.

[ICRC @ICRC]

South Sudan | For almost a year, some families lived without a single word from those they love.

In Gorom Refugee Camp, together with @SSRCS, internet access is helping them hear familiar voices again, through calls, video chats, and family tracing services.

[ICRC South Sudan @ICRC_SSudan]

Central to our approach on Accountability to Affected populations is a commitment to spending more time in respectful dialogue with affected people, to better understand their lived experiences and ensure our responses are more relevant and appropriate. #SouthSudan. #SSoT.

[ICRC South Sudan @ICRC_SSudan]

Even in death, #Humanity MUST be upheld.

Last week, we trained @SSRCS volunteers and community leaders in Yei, #SouthSudan on dignified management of the dead in line with cultural and legal standards. #SSoT.
