More than 250k people in Kyiv are still without power after the missile attacks this morning. A good occasion to review this helpful ICRC explainer on protection of energy infrastructure in conflict. https://t.co/Wp66W4V37Q
๐จDuring the evacuation of casualties and the injured today from inside the PRCS headquarters in #KhanYounis, the Israeli occupation forces targeted the building for the second time in a row.
๐The PRCS's headquarters and Al-Amal Hospital serve as a shelter for 14,000 displaced individuals who sought it as a safe haven, but dozens of families fled following the โ ๏ธtargeting of the location, fearing for their lives.

In Gaza, the needs are staggering, and the situation is desperate.
Aid delivery is becoming increasingly more difficult due to the ongoing shelling and lack of fuel and supplies.
I reiterate my call for a safe & unhindered humanitarian space to allow the continuous flow of critical aid.
It was a pleasure to meet with Ambassador Beata Peksa, EU Delegation in Turkmenistan, to share our work on legal preparedness for disasters, cash & voucher assistance, & the support of EU DG ECHO to IFRC Central Asia overall. @SGuzelkilinc@IFRC_Europe@ECHO_Asia@Disaster_Law
@Disaster_Law with support of @ECHO_Asia conducted a Regional Consultation on strengthening legal framework for cross-border disaster assistance w/ Central Asia Emergency Management Authorities, Red Crescent National Societies & Intโl Orgs, in partnership with CESDRR (Dec 5).
This coming week, Iโll be working with our @IFRC_Europe Cash Preparedness Delegate to discuss feasibility of humanitarian cash and voucher & legal preparedness in #Turkmenistan w/ govt and intl partners. Supported by @USAIDSavesLives@Disaster_Law
