We @ICRC very much welcome this breakthrough in #Israel and #Gaza, that brings hope amid so much suffering and uncertainty. This is a clear demonstration of what the principle of neutrality serves to achieve in armed conflict - for the benefit of people affected on both sides.
🔴 What do we do in Israel and the occupied territories?
🔴Why do we speak with all the parties?
🔴 What are we doing to visit those who have been abducted?

All measures to avoid such a situation should be taken immediately.
Today we evacuated 12 sick patients across the Lachin Corridor so they can receive medical care in Armenia.
As a neutral intermediary, our strictly humanitarian work along the Lachin corridor is always carried out with the agreement of the sides.
We @ICRC are extremely concerned by the intensification of armed violence in #Jenin.
Each passing minute of this ongoing violence poses a danger to lives, homes, essential services, and infrastructure.
