What is a Red Cross Message?

✉️ It’s a piece of paper delivered by our staff and volunteers.
✉️ It’s a last resort for people to contact their families.
✉️ It’s a lifeline for people in prison or separated by conflict.

It’s hope.

Unfortunately the topics and backdrops are not lacking….

Joint World Bank, UN Report Assesses Damage to Gaza’s Infrastructure worldbank.org/en/news/press-… via World Bank

This sums up only the material damage.....no figure can hold the human damage, it will have to be paid for generations to come....

How many more? May his soul rest in peace

The only way to stop having victims of #landmines , is to STOP planting them and BAN them

#NotATarget , wanting to save lives and losing their own. what world is this?!??

'The north remains a total blockade & is inaccessible. We have enough evidence that shows there is ongoing starvation.' - Food and Agriculture Organization

'We have now reports of Israeli attacks on warehouses.' - UN Humanitarian

'Hundreds of trucks of UN and NGO supplies are currently backlogged.' - UNICEF

Fully agree; no #healthworker should die in the line of duty . They are #NotATarget

Disturbed by the recurrent attacks on healthcare personnel in southern #Lebanon , resulting in injuries and loss of lives. We remind all parties of conflict of their obligation to #protect healthcare workers and #Respect their safety. They are #NotATarget ! #HCID

It took 5 months for UN Security Council to pass the resolution calling for Gaza ceasefire that we asked for in October. Today only 95 aid trucks were allowed through to starving Gaza. More civilians died. No hostages were released. Can we get action now? bbc.co.uk/news/world-mid…

Humanitarians working in Gaza shared with me the extremely challenging environment they work in.

Some of them, with decades of experience, said they have never encountered a situation as difficult as this.

Aid workers need resources, access & safety - now.

Beyond unacceptable! #healthcare workers are #NotATarget

Amidst the chaos of #conflict , #mothers show unparalleled strength & resilience. Here's to you, courageous mothers enduring hardships: May you always stand firm like olive trees, planting seeds of hope in life's fields. #HappyMothersDay 🌿💕

Just returned from south #Lebanon where I witnessed devastating levels of destruction & ghost cities amid ongoing hostilities. Civilians are enduring immense suffering. Inspired by resilience & efforts of #healthcare workers.
Urging all parties to respect obligations under #IHL
