No words can describe the situation in Tawila, #Sudan.

People collapse from their injuries, from exhaustion, hunger, dehydration.

Their biggest concern remains their loved ones who died, and they were not able to bury them as they had to flee.

💬 First responders and @SYRedCrescent volunteers face big stress.
The ICRC supports them through Help the Helpers Program.

📸 Here are some cards with trainees’ comments showing the impact.

Yesterday, a 9-year-old boy was killed by Israeli forces in a village near Hebron. This year, 42 Palestinian children have been killed in conflict-related violence in the West Bank.

Violence must stop and all children must be protected.

Ibrahim, 7, used to only dream of school. Now he’s learning, making friends, and smiling again—thanks to @SYRedCrescent's education & psychosocial support program.

Thousands of children like him need equal chances to learn, play & heal.

Yemen’s exhausted civilian population continues to lose loved ones and suffer from the steady degradation of critical civilian infrastructure.

Constant care must be taken to spare civilians and critical civilian infrastructure.

‘Power without conscience’ is a warning we can’t ignore. We are calling for urgent regulation and human-centred control of military AI systems.

The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement revolves around seven Fundamental Principles that shape its humanitarian mission around the world: Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary Service, Unity, and Universality.

These timeless values unite our network, ensuring every action is carried out with integrity, compassion, and unwavering neutrality.

Every drop of help, every volunteer, every rescue, rooted in these principles counts.

“When governments betray the most basic human values, it is upon us to fix it. We, the people.”

Tonight, @FranceskAlbs, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, gave this powerful speech at the Together for Palestine concert.

[ICRC Jordan @ICRC_Jordan]

#Civilians shouldn't bear the cost of the hostilities and must be protected by all parties to the conflict.

This is clear under International Humanitarian Law. #IHL

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

"The Commission finds that the Israeli authorities intended to kill as many Palestinians as possible through its military operations in #Gaza since 7 October 2023 and knew that the means and methods of warfare employed would cause mass deaths of Palestinians, including children."

Jana, 9, was evacuated from north Gaza last year, with UNICEF’s support.

Now she’s battling severe malnutrition again.

UNICEF’s Tess Ingram speaks with Jana’s mother, Nesma, who already lost a daughter, Jouri, to malnutrition.

These horrors must stop. Jana and all children in Gaza must be prioritized and protected now.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

As the Global Sumud Flotilla sets sail to Gaza, may Gaza hear this collective cry: "Gaza, you are not alone! You have stirred the world from its deep sleep".

Mirjana Spoljaric, ICRC President, warns that a mass evacuation of Gaza City is "unfeasible and incomprehensible".

All civilians are protected by the rules of war, whether they leave or stay behind, and must be allowed to return home.

“I didn’t imagine anyone would search for the missing and spend all this time to find me, and reconnect me with my son.”
After 13 years apart, a father in Kuwait finally received news he never thought possible.

Weeks into months.
Months into years.

For every person missing, countless people are missing them.
