On the 2-year mark of the devastating earthquake in Türkiye and Syria, the communities affected are still grappling with its consequences. Our humanitarian colleagues from the Turkish Türk Kızılay International & Syrian Red Crescent continue working to help them recover.



Last week, I saw firsthand how Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS) provides life-saving aid to over 1 mill. displaced persons in #CoxsBazar – & heard about urgent needs. I’m eager to share all I learned w/ Member States United Nations as we head towards the Int’l Conference on the situation of the Rohingya this year.


The Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS) operates 12 health facilities in #CoxsBazar to help thousands of displaced persons stay alive and healthy. As people continue to arrive, field hospitals like the one I visited will continue to play a vital role in providing essential healthcare.


Cyclones hit Bangladesh every year. That’s why Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS) is working to strengthen disaster preparedness in all 33 of its camps in Cox’s Bazar. This structure is just one example of how they prevent landslides, saving countless lives when a storm hits.








On Friday at the UN we urged Member States to enable continuity of life-saving services by embedding Mental Health & #NCDs in humanitarian responses; and ensuring attacks on health personnel & critical infrastructure are halted.

On the occasion of World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day, IFRC President Kate Forbes and @IFRC Secretary General Jagan Chapagain reflect on the evolving meaning of humanity in today’s increasingly polarized world.
