Les violences continuent en #Centrafrique dans plusieurs localités au nord-ouest, à l'ouest et depuis lundi à #Bambari, au sud-est. Hier nous avons évacué une quinzaine de blessés à l'hôpital de Bambari et transporté trois corps sans vie à la morgue. #CARcrisis

Nous dénonçons l’attaque de notre bureau à #Bouar et appelons au respect des humanitaires et populations en #Centrafrique. A chaque fois que nous sommes attaqués, c'est notre capacité à délivrer de l'aide qui est compromise. #CARcrisis icrc.org/fr/document/re…

"Women and children were living safely in their apartments and were caught in the rubble that we can see behind us. It is heartbreaking...I hope this is the last time I am coming to witness yet again the humanitarian impact of another cycle of violence." @RMardiniICRC

We ICRC are shocked & appalled by the images & reports coming from Al-Shifa hospital in #Gaza. The unbearably desperate situation for patients & staff trapped inside must stop. Now. Hospitals, patients, staff & health care must be protected. Period.
