Every attack on a humanitarian is an attack on the community they served, and a betrayal to the laws designed to protect civilians and alleviate suffering in conflict.

Had an amazing time at the Fiaccolata in Solferino, the birthplace of the #RedCross! 🌟 As the only volunteer from the Red Cross Society of #China, this solo adventure was truly rewarding. Huge thanks to @crocerossa , IFRC Youth Commission, and ECAYN! 💖 #Solferino2024

To meet the huge needs in Gaza @ifrc @ICRC @UNICEF @WFP @WHO and others have mobilized both staff and life-saving supplies.

@EG_Red_Crescent is ready to deliver supplies to @PalestineRCS when access becomes available.

We call on all parties to grant safe humanitarian access.

[IFRC @ifrc]

There are no words to describe the level of human suffering.

Hospitals must be sanctuaries for all. They must be protected under international humanitarian law. #NotATarget

[ICRC @ICRC]

International humanitarian law is clear

Civilians - Medical professionals - Hospitals - Ambulances - Clinics

All are protected under the law of war.

Happy WRCD!

👉 24 hours warning of a storm can reduce damages by 30%

👉 Yet only 1% of spending is allocated to responding before disasters strike

“We have the knowledge, we have the evidence that anticipatory action saves lives,” says @IFRC’s Head of East Asia Delegation @ODzhumaeva

[Francesco Rocca @Francescorocca]

All our @ifrc thoughts and condolences to the @RoyalFamily and the @BritishRedCross.

As the Patron of the British #RedCross, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II have always supported the #RedCross mission and values.

Her leadership will never be forgotten.
