The earthquake in #Myanmar has devastated communities already suffering from armed conflict and violence.
We @ICRC are on the ground with the @MyanmarRedCross, preparing to assist those affected, including reconnecting family members who have been separated.
We facilitated the release and transfer of 3 hostages out of Gaza to Israel, and 90 Palestinian detainees from Israel to the occupied Palestinian territory.

There are tens of thousands of people missing here in #Syria.
35,000 were registered with us in the past 13 years, thousands more in the past few weeks, and we believe many more are unrecorded.
Families of the missing never give up on their loved ones. Neither does the @ICRC.
Fighting near water & power infrastructure in #Aleppo governorate in #Syria risks the safety of on-site staff, as well as access to essential services for some 3 million people.
Parties to conflict must follow international humanitarian law which protects such sites & workers.
The ICRC is committed to standing with families in their quest for answers.
Do you have a missing family member in Syria?

Behind every missing person, countless people are waiting for their loved ones
The ICRC remains committed to help the families find answers, because they have the right to know.
Over 13 years, @ICRC has worked tirelessly to expand access to detention facilities across #Syria, with efforts continuing into November 2024.
In this in-depth piece, @SSakalianICRC addresses key questions about access to detainees and priorities.

In the past 13 years, we have registered 35,000 cases of people who have gone missing in Syria. Behind every case is a family’s pain. We call on all parties to prevent the destruction of crucial records.

Si l’on agit tout de suite pour trouver le plus de disparus possible, en plus de réunir des familles qui étaient déchirées et dans la pire angoisse depuis des années, cela crée les bases pour reconstruire une communauté. #Syrie @CCardonICRC https://t.co/euMTfKo35Q
During the past hours, the situation in Damascus has been very volatile & chaotic. @ICRC teams present in the city & other regions of #Syria affected by ongoing hostilities, have been closely monitoring the fast- evolving humanitarian needs in coordination with @SYRedCrescent 👇
We call on all parties to urgently enable safe and unhindered access for medical and humanitarian workers to reach those in need.
A quote from ICRC #Syria head of delegation @SSakalianICRC
📍 Syria | We closely follow with concern the escalation of hostilities in northwest #Syria, particularly in Idlib and Aleppo.
All parties involved need to prioritize the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure. Follow @ICRC_sy for more updates 👇🏽
📍 Israel - Lebanon | We are encouraged that a ceasefire has been agreed that would end the fighting and help bring some hope and stability to a region exhausted by conflict.
Civilians must be protected, always.

Families, friends and colleagues are devastated.
They were humanitarians.
They were doing their job - preparing a needed distribution for communities affected by the ongoing conflict.
We condemn this attack in the strongest terms. @ICRC#Ukraine
“On this World Humanitarian Day, I stand in solidarity with civilians, and the brave Red Cross Red Crescent staff and volunteers who risk their lives daily to help others. I thank them for their unwavering dedication”
