“During my visit to Bajil hospital, I saw doctors working tirelessly to save lives. With 40% of Yemen’s health facilities non-functional, @ICRC’s support is vital. In early 2025, we helped provide 580K+ consultations & 12K+ surgeries.” Nicolas von Arx, ICRC NAME Regional Director
📍Israel and the Occupied Territories

YRCS ED Mr. Abdullah Al-Azab, received RD Mr. Nicolas Von Arx for Near & Middle East at ICRC, during his visit to Yemen.
They discussed latest developments in humanitarian situation & ways to strengthen YRCS's role. Also joint efforts to assist affected and vulnerable communities

In armed conflicts, no matter when, no matter where, civilians must be protected and respected.
Mirjana Spoljaric, ICRC President, shared her perspective about the humanitarian situation in Gaza, Ukraine and Sudan, with @cgtnamerica
يعرب الهلال الأحمر اليمني عن بالغ القلق إزاء الغارات الجوية التي وقعت يوم أمس واستهدفت مناطق مكتظة بالسكان في العاصمة صنعاء، ما أدى إلى سقوط عدد كبير من الضحايا المدنيين، وتفاقم الضغط على القطاعات الصحية التي تعاني في الاساس من نقص حاد في الموارد والمستلزمات الطبية.
Yemen’s exhausted civilian population continues to lose loved ones and suffer from the steady degradation of critical civilian infrastructure. They need a reprieve from hostilities and not an endless cycle of escalation.
Today I attended the important meeting hosted by Sweden @CarlSkau & @eu_echo on the worsening situation in #Yemen. Yemenis are facing many challenges and a deepening protracted conflict. @ICRC_ye is here for the long haul next to the @YemenCrescent #Movement partners @IFRC_MENA
Today, in Aden, #Yemen, I went to the only #C19 treatment center in the country. It was set up by the Norwegian and Finish #redcross, @YemenCrescent and @ICRC_ye. When working as a #RCRC Movement, we’re stronger. @rodekorsnorge@PunainenRisti
Follow us today & the coming days for the latest updates on facilitating the release & transfer of detainees agreed upon by the parties in #Yemen.
With @YemenCrescent & @mediasrca, and as a neutral intermediary, we'll assist hundreds of former detainees to return home.
"In an effort to boost a #health system devastated by war, the #RedCross & #RedCrescent family on 20/09, opened a free treatment centre for #Covid_19 patients in #Yemen, which has suffered from a high rate of death from a crippling 1st wave of COVID-19"

We support healthcare facilities in different parts of #Yemen with oxygen by:
1. Establishing oxygen stations
2. Maintaining existing oxygen stations
3. Supplying oxygen cylinders
We must work together across the Movement, the humanitarian sector and beyond to strengthen #climate action and ensure that steps are taken to gradually help #conflict affected people adapt.

3/ Humanitarian organizations and research centers should explore new engagement/partnership modalities to strengthen production of evidence in #conflict and post-conflict settings
#HealthCareInDanger#HCiD#NotATarget
Work like this in #Yemen wouldn't be possible without 1000s of #RedCrossRedCrescent workers & volunteers taking risk every day.
@ICRC and @IFRC need 3.1 billion CHF to increase our #COVID19 response.
Nobody is safe until we're all safe. #InThisTogether
