@ICRC conducted advanced first aid training for 38 staff from #Kunduz Ambulance Services, the Regional Hospital and district-level ambulance teams to strengthen their capacity to provide lifesaving care and ensure safe transport to health facilities when every minute matters.

In conflict-affected communities, Amina, trained by @nrcs_ng, helps caregivers detect child malnutrition early.

Severe cases are referred for care, and moderate cases receive a nutrient-rich, locally made supplement, giving children a safer chance to recover.

In displacement camps in northeast Nigeria, dressmaking helps women earn an income and dream of a brighter future.

It's the #InternationalWomensDay and a perfect day to acknowledge the women who are selflessly saving the lives of women and their babies in communities affected by armed conflict. Women like Karu and Falmata who volunteer as traditional birth attendants in Maiduguri.

Nagode!

How did Florence Nightingale change nursing forever?

ILOAfrica: RT UNOCHA: The word “hero” may not immediately conjure images of an insect scientist. But once you understand the devastation of a locust invasion, it becomes clear why Dr. Mohamed Hassan Mohamud inspires more than mere accolades. (1/5) #RealLifeHeroes #WorldHuman…

[IOM - UN Migration 🇺🇳 @UNmigration]

They’re not the heroes of a fictional world.

They’re humanitarians, stepping up to save lives and help others, every day, and without superpowers.

Disability is not inability. Stand up for all #PeopleWithDiabilities

[ICRC Afghanistan @ICRC_af]

We stand up for all #PeopleWithDisabilities

[ICRC Afghanistan @ICRC_af]

@ICRC_af acted as a neutral facilitator between the parties to the conflict in #Afghanistan to ensure the release and hand over of detainees.

Best wishes to #Afghanistan wheelchair 🏀 teams on their way to #AsiaPacific Championships in #Thailand.

[Bloomberg Originals @bbgoriginals]

Up to 1,590,000 Afghans live with a disability, mostly due to war and violence.

Meet the athletes in wheelchairs who are using basketball to change the way people see disabled women in Afghanistan #SheRoars

I’ve always loved basketball because it’s about building a team that’s equal to more than the sum of its parts. Glad to see this expansion into Africa because for a rising continent, this can be about a lot more than what happens on the court.

[ICRC Africa @ICRC_Africa]

Every month, 12 tonnes of medical supplies leave #Kenya for #DRCongo. It's an 8-day journey through 4 countries. This is just one of the thousands of journeys we undertake around the world.

None of this is possible without your help.

Approximately 70% of our food distribution in #SouthSudan has to be done through airdrops. Here's how we do it.

[ICRC Africa @ICRC_Africa]

We support a wheelchair basketball league in Juba, #SouthSudan that draws people with physical disabilities from across the city to play twice a week as part our efforts to promote social inclusion. We also provide prosthetics and physical therapy services for the players.

[ICRC @ICRC]

France and South Sudan are roughly the same size.

France has over a million kilometres of paved roads. South Sudan has 280.

This is one reason why we use airdrops to make sure food reaches people.

But we would prefer not to. This #thread explains why it’s a last resort.

[ICRC @ICRC]

Food. Water. Shelter.

Amidst some of the harshest conflicts on earth, we assist with the basics of life.

[ICRC Africa @ICRC_Africa]

We work with prison authorities to respond to the most urgent humanitarian needs, like food, sanitation, & medical care in #SouthSudan.
