Across parts of Donetsk, families face daily challenges accessing water, finding shelter, and enduring harsh winter conditions.
Together with our local partners, we continue to support communities with essential supplies and help families cope with these hardships 👉🏼 https://t.co/kgKZEL19lr
“No one benefits from a war without rules.
Attacks on vital infrastructure are unacceptable and must stop.
My appeal to States is to invest in de-escalation now, before it is too late.”
@ICRC President on the hostilities in the Middle East:

Swift action on the ground: @ICRC_Af delivers emergency medical supplies to Wazir Akbar Khan Hospital in #Kabul 🚑
Supporting the doctors and nurses working around the clock to care for those injured at the drug rehabilitation facility. Their dedication saves lives.
📍 Iran | We are deeply saddened by the news that Hamid Reza Jahanbakhsh, a colleague of the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS), was killed on 8 March while carrying out his humanitarian work to support communities in Isfahan province, affected by ongoing hostilities.
Our thoughts are with his loved ones and with IRCS during this difficult time.
It’s unacceptable that humanitarian workers are dying while trying to save lives.
Today we mourn Hamid Reza, a colleague from the Iranian Red Crescent Society, killed while helping people impacted by the conflict.
The rules of war are clear: humanitarians must be protected.
"We are outraged that humanitarian workers continue to be killed across conflicts.
Since hostilities erupted across the Middle East, humanitarian and medical personnel are being caught in the line of fire, putting at risk the lifelines civilians depend on to survive."
This is part of a joint statement by the @ICRC President and the IFRC President, @KateForbes_IFRC, on the increasing attacks against humanitarian and medical personnel.

📡 When does disrupting connectivity cross a legal line at war?
From bombing a communication tower to national shutdowns, connectivity disruptions are frequent in armed conflicts.
@TRodenhaeuser shares more about the limits #IHL imposes on such acts👉🏽 https://t.co/KwkSWPC9Il
The killing of Youssef, a volunteer from @RedCrossLebanon, is unacceptable.
He was helping communities impacted by the hostilities in Lebanon.
Humanitarian workers should not have to risk their lives to help others. They must never be a target.
"Since the hostilities escalated last week between Afghanistan and Pakistan, we have immediately mobilized to meet the urgent needs of people caught in the crossfire or communities who had to flee."
@KRitzICRC, ICRC head of delegation in Afghanistan (@ICRC_af), shares 👇🏽
"Widening hostilities across the Middle East are putting civilian lives in grave danger. The scale of major military operations flaring across the Middle East risks embroiling the region – and beyond – into another large-scale armed conflict that will overwhelm any humanitarian response. Without urgent steps to de-escalate the situation and respect the rules of war, further civilian lives will be lost."
Mirjana Spoljaric, ICRC president👇🏽
[ON AIR] Manish Das, the head of the ICRC sub-delegation in Garowe, the administrative capital of Puntland—a semi-autonomous region in northeastern Somalia—joins @FavoredAsa to discuss the situation in the area. More than a year after fighting broke out in Puntland, tens of thousands of families remain displaced, struggling to survive amid ongoing conflict and severe drought.

#RiseAndShine #Somalia
In 2024, we documented 284.4 K cases of missing people in almost 100 countries affected by armed conflict and/or armed violence, and the number is likely far higher.
Behind every missing person is a family looking for answers. They deserve to know.
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.
#IDPD2025 celebrates potential, inclusion, and empowerment.

Prisoners of war (POWs) are captured members of enemy armed forces in international armed conflicts and are protected under the Third Geneva Convention.
They must be treated humanely, always.
