Des centaines de familles touchées par les inondations à Kinshasa.
Les pluies ont transformé les rues en torrents, emportant maisons et espoirs.
Au milieu de ce chaos, la @croix_rouge_rdc est là : é𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐫, 𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐫, 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞.
Chaque geste compte pour reconstruire des vies.

Ebola shook #Bulape, #DRC but resilience won.

With safe and dignified burials, psychosocial support, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and community engagement, we're writing a story of hope and humanity together with DRC Red Cross @croix_rouge_rdc.

Spreading accurate and verified information on how people can protect themselves against #Ebola is an important part of the #Ebola response.

@croix_rouge_rdc volunteers are going door-to-door informing their communities on how they can protect themselves against Ebola.

They also keep their communities informed by publicly sharing key messages for keeping yourself and your loved once healthy during an Ebola outbreak.

With your support, we’ve been providing assistance to the Afghan people for over 30 years.

They need our help now, more than ever.

Amazing job

[Peter Maurer @_PeterMaurer]

Today @ICRC started transporting over 1000 people detained in the #Yemen conflict back home.

It’s the largest release operation during wartime in which ICRC has been involved since the Korean conflict.

We're honored to play a neutral role that brings families back together.

Great to see the new @IFRC logo adopted - and thereby the new IFRC Rapid Response logo; the face of the IFRC Surge Personnel deployments. At the right place and time, as local as possible and as global as necessary

Several attacks in #DRCongo have killed, wounded and displaced many. Those killed include 4 #Ebola responders.

Red Cross Ebola activities have had been put on hold in many areas. The spike in violence could reverse positive gains in the Ebola response. https://t.co/GpZNAbvqIR
