The @ifrc Asia Pacific Conference has finished, and, as usual, I'm left with this feeling: We need to stop thinking about youth participation and representation in our structures, and realize that the youth and young professionals are ready to lead.

Saamme toisinaan kysymyksiä siitä, miksi Punainen Risti ei ota kantaa sotiin ja sotatapahtumiin.
Väkivaltaiset konfliktit herättävät paljon tunteita. Syitä puolueettomuudellemme – ja mitä sillä tarkoitetaan – voi olla vaikea ymmärtää.

Mr. Marwan Jilani, PRCS Director General Speech in the Security Council, 9472nd meeting about “The humanitarian situation in Gaza particularly about the disastrous condition of the Al-Quds hospital.
#Security_Council#Gaza#AlQudsHospital
Left homeless by shelling that destroyed their home, a deaf couple and their children sought safety at Al Quds Hospital.

Medical staff in #Gaza are so inundated by the sheer mass of patients arriving that the surgical board used to keep track of the weeks upcoming surgeries has been wiped clean and replaced with these words:
It is intolerable that the catastrophic humanitarian situation has lasted a month;
It is unacceptable that it lasts any longer.
Today at the Gaza forum I urged States to protect civilians and to ensure the practical implementation of the laws of war.

Humanitaarinen apu ja kehitysyhteistyö kulkevat käsi kädessä 🤝
Työskentelemme kriisialueilla, joissa kehitysyhteistyö sekä humanitaarinen apu ovat kietoutuneet toisiinsa.
Viime vuonna yhteensä 25 000 ihmistä Myanmarissa sai kauttamme terveys- ja neuvolapalveluita.
The plight of the tens of thousands of people forcefully returned to Afghanistan from Pakistan over recent days is of great concern.
The safety and dignity of people must be prioritised.
@ifrc discussing with @ARCSAfghanistan and @PRC_official how best to engage.
