Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

How easy it is to propagate war.

[Harris Sultan @TheHarrisSultan]

Nuclear war is no joke!

📍Lebanon | We are deeply distressed by the killing of @RedCrossLebanon paramedic Hassan Badawi, who succumbed to injuries sustained from a strike while carrying out an emergency rescue mission in the Bint Jbeil district in southern Lebanon.

We mourn this tragic loss and extend our heartfelt condolences to his loved ones and his colleagues. Our thoughts are also with another Lebanese Red Cross colleague who was injured in the same incident.

Saving lives must never cost a life. Humanitarian and medical personnel must be protected.

[Sir Dig A Lot @SirDigALot]

The level of self loathing on display by Pak's performative liberals, political activists, and Akhand Bharath intellectuals is unbelievable.

You can keep your beliefs and still show a bit of grace if your country is getting positive international attention. Your cause won't die

[Moeed W. Yusuf @YusufMoeed]

I don’t use social media to pontificate but this needs to be said.

If no off-ramp is found within the next week, history will write of this Middle East conflict as WWIII. Very soon, it will resemble a global conflict in terms of the number of countries involved, the intensity of violence, and the spread of its absolutely catastrophic consequences. Those who can must prevent this from happening.

During iftar in Dar es Salaam, Sheikh Khamis Mataka reminded us:
“Even in war, humanity must not die. It knows no colour, nationality, or religion.”

Our mission lives in this truth—protecting human dignity always. 🤲

I get what Sylvia Plath meant when she said “if i get through this year, no matter how badly, it will be the biggest victory i've ever done.”

[Sahar Haroon @sehyr]

Maybe one day the world can go from commemorating #IWD26 women's day to actually integrating the values & ideals it stands for into laws, policies, actions, discourses. Only then can this world truly be safe for all girls, all women.
Scary how far we actually are & keep getting.

[ICRC Nairobi Regional Delegation @ICRC_Nairobi]

There’s a quiet power in giving—the kind that brings unexpected gains.
This #IWD26, we feature colleagues who champion gender equality through everyday actions, collective effort & mentorship. Together, we continue to uplift, support & create spaces where everyone can thrive. 💜

"Widening hostilities across the Middle East are putting civilian lives in grave danger. The scale of major military operations flaring across the Middle East risks embroiling the region – and beyond – into another large-scale armed conflict that will overwhelm any humanitarian response. Without urgent steps to de-escalate the situation and respect the rules of war, further civilian lives will be lost."

Mirjana Spoljaric, ICRC president👇🏽

میں نے پولیس اور انتظامیہ کو ہدایت کی ہے کہ مظاہرین کے احساسات کو سمجھا جائے اور ان کے ساتھ عزت و احترام کے ساتھ پیش آیا جائے�� مظاہرین کے لیے افطار کا بندوبست کیا جا رہا ہے۔ ہر مسلمان اس وقت دکھی اور اشکبار ہے مگر اپنے ملک، اپنے شہروں میں امن و امان قائم رکھنا بھی ہم سب کا اولین فرض ہے۔ اس فرض کی پاسداری کیجیے۔ دکھ کی اس گھڑی میں ہم سب ایک ہیں۔

When you hear men talking about how they want kids to “continue their blood line” but Nizar Qabbani wrote “Give me a daughter with your stubborn heart, or your even temper. Give our children your dark-bright eyes, or your enchanted smile. So that even when we are gone, the world will find within them all the reasons I loved you”

[ICRC @ICRC]

“The military escalation in the Middle East is igniting a dangerous chain reaction across the region, with potentially devastating consequences for civilians.”

Mirjana Spoljaric, ICRC president, urges respect for rules of war.

My advice, for what it’s worth: try not to be distracted by the faintly discourteous, the mildly incompetent, the harmlessly obnoxious. Roll with the delayed trains, dropped litter and misused apostrophes. Save your powder for the truly malevolent creatures now stalking the land.

[ICRC @ICRC]

From frontline humanitarian action in Gaza, Sudan and Ukraine, to the return of detainees and fallen soldiers, our ability to help depends on trust, and on principled humanitarian action.

In this video, Mirjana Spoljaric, President of the ICRC, explains why the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement upholds the Fundamental Principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence, and why the world needs us to.

Inspiring discussions @UNEP on the implementation of #UNEA Resolution 6/12 to build a clearer picture of the environmental impact of armed conflict, and how we can take it further to prevent, mitigate and recover from these environmental damages.

No child should lose their childhood to conflict.

Even though children are 40% of our protection and assistance activities beneficiaries, no assistance will be enough if parties to conflicts don't respect them.
