It’s about surviving. It’s about being safe. No one should be trapped in an armed conflict-affected area.

Even when safe passage out of intense fighting is possible, civilians who cannot or choose not to leave remain protected under international humanitarian law and must still have access to humanitarian assistance.

For many families across Iran, the past three months have changed daily life in ways that are still unfolding.

Behind every response are volunteers and emergency teams who continued supporting communities under difficult circumstances, staying beside people when support was needed most.

Three months later, Iranian Red Crescent @Iranian_RCS volunteers and staff continue serving communities with humanity and solidarity.

The Red Cross Field Hospital in Rafah, one of the very few functional health facilities in the south of Gaza, is undergoing an overhaul to continue addressing urgent health-care needs.

The upgrade comes after a lengthy approval process and will result in meaningful improvements across the hospital as well as an expansion from 60 to 72 beds. Patients and staff will benefit from an improved operating theatre, upgraded emergency and outpatient departments, renovated maternity and paediatric care, reduced overcrowding in wards and improved post-surgical care.
