🚨🔴 PRCS: We have completely lost contact with the operations room in #Gaza Strip and all our teams operating there due to the Israeli authorities cutting off all landline, cellular and internet communications. We are deeply concerned about the ability of our teams to continue

We are deeply concerned by the escalation of hostilities in Gaza. Our colleagues PRCS are working 24/7 to meet the urgent humanitarian needs. We lost contact with them in the blackout. All we know is that humanitarians, health workers and civilians are #NotATarget.

Civilians must be protected. Hospitals must be protected. Humanitarian workers including our teams must be able to safely carry out their life-saving work to reach those in need. I urge all parties to abide by their obligations under international humanitarian law #NotATarget

With IFRC support, two new EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 Humanitarian Air Bridge flights for the people of Gaza took off today transporting almost 115 tonnes of much-needed supplies. The EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 & IFRC cooperation for this humanitarian airbridge is key to help those in need. Thank you EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺.

Some great work going on at the สภากาชาดไทย Thai Red Cross Society around innovative and inclusive approaches to healthcare through the use of biometrics IFRC

💢Our colleagues in the emergency operations room in #Gaza are working around the clock despite power outages and the ongoing intense shelling in the vicinity of Jerusalem Hospital.

An important life line in Gaza can no longer provide life saving health services. The PRCS has now confirmed that Al-Quds hospital has run out of fuel and power supply and is out of service. This will have catastrophic consequences for people in Gaza.
