"The fact that we are watching people being entirely stripped of their human dignity should really shock our collective conscience."

Mirjana Spoljaric, ICRC President, shared with @BowenBBC about the dire situation for civilians in Gaza and made a call for leaders to act now👇🏽

Secretary General of the Irish Red Cross, Deirdre Garvey, and her accompanying delegation met in Gaziantep and Kahramanmaraş with Kurtuluş Açıksarı, Director General of Disaster Management and Climate Change, and the accompanying Turkish Red Crescent delegation.

As part of the visit, local shopkeepers and households were visited to observe the ongoing humanitarian aid efforts in the field. The meetings, aimed at strengthening cooperation, also focused on solidarity and the exchange of experiences in disaster response.

Even though Ireland is far away in distance, our hearts meet in the same pain, in the same hope.

Deirdre Garvey, Secretary General of the Irish Red Cross, and her accompanying delegation visited the disaster-affected areas of Gaziantep and Kahramanmaraş.
The delegation observed the Turkish Red Crescent’s field operations firsthand and met with local shopkeepers and families affected by the disaster.

As we continue to heal wounds hand in hand, we extend our heartfelt thanks to the people of Ireland for their support, conveyed through our sister National Society, the Irish Red Cross.

It’s incredible in the 21st century to see the word genocide being used. All the red lines have been crossed in human rights. Powerful address by Mary Robinson #PRIIConf24

[PRII.ie @PRII_ie]

Mary Robinson speaking at #PRIICOnf24 about the power of words. “Words labelling a child illegitimate, words labelling a migrant illegal, mna na hEireann as a pergorative term. Words and labels can be damaging.”
