Severe flooding has affected over 300,000 people in Romania, Poland and Czechia. @IFRC released over 1 million CHF from the #DREF to help:
🇷🇴@RedCrossRomania: 460k+ CHF
🇵🇱@PolskiCK: 360k+ CHF

Let's work together to help those in need.

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, let's remember that #mentalhealth matters, especially at work. #RedCross, #RedCrescent, & #IFRC staff can face emotional challenges in their #humanitarian work. It's important to create spaces where they feel safe to share and seek support.

[Cordula Droege @CDroegeICRC]

Internment of civilians in the fourth #GenevaConvention is exceptional, allowed only when there is an absolute or imperative need in individual cases.

Such a fantastic discussion! Grateful to @Jess_Peake_ & the panelists for such interesting topics at the #ASILAM!

Please read this 🧵: the erasure of latinx and indigenous voices in history is dangerous and props up the white male patriarchy and the military industrial complex. We need to hear these stories & understand the harms these individuals & communities suffered!

[Christie J. Edwards, JD, LLM (she/her) @cjoye7]

Truly groundbreaking - this is the first time in over 75 years of existence of both the #ICJ & the #ILC where they are both chaired by #women 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This is a must read 👇

[Geneva Call @genevacall]

Geneva Call works with AGDAs to address and prevent #SGBV in armed conflict.
We do so with a cross-cutting approach as SGBV issues are often interconnected with other topics we work on such as the protection of healthcare, of #children & #education, and food insecurity.
