In Bulgaria today, where I am deeply honored to have received the Golden Medal of Merit from the Bulgarian Red Cross @BGRedCross. It was a privilege to meet with the President, Director General, and Chief Secretary of the National Society, as well as the dedicated staff members and inspiring young volunteers.

This experience took me back to when I first joined the Red Cross at the age of 13. Seeing the passion and commitment in today’s young volunteers reminds me of my own journey and the incredible opportunities that lie ahead for them.

Who knows? Perhaps one of them will become the Secretary General of the IFRC one day!

Even after reaching a place of safety, displaced people can face new challenges around integration.

🗣️ We took to the streets of Dublin asking people to share a message with those who had to flee home.

Ahead of #WorldRefugeeDay, we call to ensure those people are #NotAlone

"Through the Red Cross, I can give people confidence in the beautiful days that will come."

🔊Listen to Svitlana's heartwarming Ukrainian song

[IFRC Europe @IFRC_Europe]

🎼✨ Through the power of music, Svitlana helps people who had to flee Ukraine cope with stress and anxiety.

Displaced herself, she has been organizing art therapy sessions with the Bulgarian Red Cross @BGRedCross under the #EU4Health project supported by @EU_Health.

Laura and her husband had no choice but to flee to Armenia due to the conflict.

For a month now, they have been sharing 1 bedroom with 4 of their relatives. But at least they feel safe.

@RedCrossArmenia and @IFRC support them with essentials as they figure out their next steps.

[IFRC Europe @IFRC_Europe]

Shelter is becoming the most critical need for thousands of families who fled to Armenia due to the conflict a month ago. Most of them have limited savings and no regular income.

@RedCrossArmenia and @IFRC help covering their urgent needs. But long-term solutions are required.

[Nora Peter @noripetya]

This little girl is one of 31,000 kids and teens who had to leave their homes because of the armed conflict.

@RedCrossArmenia and @ifrc are helping displaced families in many ways, but we need more resources to keep it up for the months and years to come.

[IFRC Europe @IFRC_Europe]

9-year old Mariyana is spending time with @RedCrossArmenia volunteers in the Smiley Club. 😊

It is one of 28 child-friendly spaces across Armenia run by the Red Cross. Here, children who fled home due to the conflict can get psychosocial support and just have some fun.🎈🎨

[Nora Peter @noripetya]

Just wrapped up our very first Emergency Communications training at @IFRC_Europe with participants from 15 countries and a dream team of facilitators.

We had a great time in Montenegro, thank you @CKCG_MRC for your hospitality and @USAID for support!

[IFRC Europe @IFRC_Europe]

Hundreds of thousands of people have come to Armenia fleeing the conflict zone.

Since the first day of the influx, the @RedCrossArmenia has mobilized to support them upon arrival.

Here is how the Red Cross teams have assisted at the reception points.👇

💬 Speaking a language of a community you live in makes your integration into it a lot easier.

Supporting people who have fled Ukraine, the @SlovakRedCross organizes Slovak language courses for them ensuring classes have adaptive schedules and are fun to learn at.

Alla is a psychologist from Ukraine working at the Polish Red Cross Infoline providing displaced people like herself useful information and - more importantly at times - a listening ear. ❤️

Alla's life-saving work is possible thanks to @EU_Health support. #EU4Health

“There’s a little hope that we will live like we used to before”, says Liza, the captain of this junior handball team from Kyiv.

As the conflict escalated last year, they moved to Slovakia - most of them without parents. A local sport organization had offered them support.

In Ukraine, Türkiye and across the region, thousands of incredible women work for and volunteer with Red Cross and Red Crescent. ❤️

On the International Women’s Day, we celebrate their passion to care for others and make a difference no matter how hard the crises hit. ✨

Today we're talking to people from Ukraine who decided to give back to their community by joining the Red Cross.

Being a single mother of a child with special needs is hard enough. Imagine also having to flee home and starting over in a new country.

Still, Olga is grateful to the people of Slovakia who welcomed them with love, and to the Slovak Red Cross for its relentless support.

[IFRC Europe @IFRC_Europe]

„The Red Cross has always been around. They've helped us find an apartment, a school, a job, a doctor... everything!”

Olga is a single mother taking care of her autistic son on her own. They are among the millions of people who fled #Ukraine about a year ago.

We welcome with great relief that Toulon, France is opening its port to #OceanViking, so that the 230 survivors on board can finally disembark after more than two weeks at sea.

🇫🇷 Thank you for doing the right thing!

Here’s what we’ve seen so far #IFRCSkillshare22 👇🏽🧵

"Every time I hear the alarm, I want to run and hide as I've done many times before. And it's the same for Lolita”.

Kristina and her husky Lolita fled Mykolaiv to seek safety in Uzhhorod, Ukraine. Now they are supported by the @IFRC and @UkraineRedCross.

The feeling when you see your photos on the wall for the first time.

Thank you Hungarian Red Cross for picking my 🖼️ to be on display about the 6 months of humanitarian response to the Ukraine conflict, next to big shots like @vlacken and @MarkoKokic.
