Honored to join @katehalff for an insightful discussion at the Tiffany Circle Geneva Forum, moderated by @CroixRouge_CH President Thomas Zeltner.

Together, we explored how IFRC and ICRC are working hand-in-hand to meet the growing humanitarian needs around the world.

[Kate Halff @katehalff]

@NenaStoiljkovic @CroixRouge_CH Thank you @NenaStoiljkovic, the honor was mine. Thank you to Tiffany Circle and to @CroixRouge_CH for convening this great discussion.

The unfolding tragedy cannot carry on.

➡️We continue to work relentlessly to bring home the hostages
➡In those darkest hours, our 17y old commitment to alleviate the suffering of the people in Gaza is unwavering

No hierarchy in suffering, only one colossal humanitarian crisis

[Sebastien Carliez @seb_carliez]

As an @ICRC staff, I stand with @PalestineRCS teams in #Gaza and feel deeply humbled by their dedication and bravery.

📍#Sudan

Hundreds of thousands left Wad Madani since fighting broke out last Friday. The @ICRC is urgently calling on the parties to the conflict to ensure protection of all civilians and provide safe passage for people trying to reach safety.

Great project on the hidden human cost of urban conflict 👇🏽

[Sebastien Carliez @seb_carliez]

We’re launching today this unique project (“Broken Cities”) to shed light on the hidden human costs of urban conflict and pay tribute to civilian survivors.

Kudos to all ⁦@ICRC⁩ teams involved. https://t.co/x0hAAVdBRN

[Kate Halff @katehalff]

In war, @icrc takes action, not sides. Great visual on what neutrality means and what it enables 👇🏽

[ICRC @ICRC]

In times of war, neutrality is not indifference;

it is a deliberate way of working to be able to help without taking sides, allowing us to reach those who need it most.

Join us and artist @Vaskange on the often misunderstood role of neutrality.

Terrible news from #Sudan. This is unacceptable. The Red Cross emblem must be respected.

“Our mission today was to bring these civilians to safety. Instead, lives have been tragically lost.”

Terrible news from our team in #Sudan

Today, on the #InternationalVolunteerDay, we mourn the loss of our volunteer Osama Tayeh, known as "the children saver," ❤️who tragically lost his life two days ago in a bombardment near his home in Jablyia, north of the #Gaza Strip.

We’ve learned of the death of a @PalestineRCS volunteer this morning in Northern #Gaza. Our condolences to his family and PRCS teams.

@PalestineRCS has been working around the clock in Gaza to save lives.

[Jessica Moussan • جيسيكا موسان @JessicaMoussan]

From #Gaza, @ICRC President said what she saw is "beyond anything that anyone should be in a position to describe".

"We can't turn away from what is evidently a moral failure in the face of international community", calling for de-escalation & alternatives to military solutions.

Tribune de notre Président @dacostaph sur @lemondefr pour rappeler notre principe de neutralité qui fonde notre action. Les acquis de la trêve entre Israël et Gaza doivent par dessus tout ouvrir la voie de l'humanité, touchée au plus profond d’elle-même

[ICRC Sudan @ICRC_Sudan]

Today, in Al Geneina, West Darfur, we facilitated the release of 64 children following a request from RSF. We reunited them with their families in Ardamatta.
The ICRC extends its neutral intermediary services to all parties to the conflict to facilitate releases of detainees.

[ICRC @ICRC]

"A very high number of civilians have been killed and maimed, including thousands of children.

Current conditions do not allow for a meaningful humanitarian response, and I fear will spell disaster for the civilian population".

You can support us. You, your neighbour, friends, colleagues and family can support by fact checking before sharing news/ information seen/ heard that are not true.
I don't usually use the term "save lives", but the collective effort of not spreading false info may save lives👇🏾

Some perspective on the role #ICRC has played in different contexts to reconnect or reunite hostage or prisoners with their families.

The smile we absolutely strive for.
7-year-old Rashid lost his leg in a car accident a few months ago. He received a prosthetic leg in our Physical Rehabilitation Centre in #Kabul. His smile displays the confidence that will support him through life. #Afghanistan

[Mirella Hodeib @MirellaHodeib]

Hugely irresponsible.
@H_NAILI explains why false claims/accusations put @ICRC staff in danger & impact communities who are in need of aid.

In #SouthSudan the Missing Persons Bill is coming to life ! An important step for all the families of missing persons.

Now working on making the bill into law with the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and the relevant authorities and institutions
