This year, I spent World Red Cross Red Crescent Day in Myanmar seeing our @IFRC staff supporting the tireless work of Myanmar Red Cross responding to the earthquake in Sagaing. Thank you to our teams for standing on the side on humanity, no matter what.


Rain ahead of the monsoon season is adding to the problems in areas hit by the earthquake. With the @IFRC, the Myanmar Red Cross is working at scale but more support is needed and quickly.

Together with the Myanmar Red Cross, we’re supporting families with essential aid — including hygiene kits, kitchen sets, mosquito nets, blankets, tarpaulins, and cash assistance — to help them recover and rebuild. Thanks to the support of the Deutsches Rotes Kreuz and Chinese Red Cross


🇹🇱 To mark #WorldRedCrossDay, Cruz Vermelha de Timor-Leste or CVTL (Red Cross) hosted a blood donation drive and first aid simulation in Dili under the theme “On the Side of Humanity.” Big thanks to blood donors from partner organizations and the CVTL team and volunteers. Every drop saves a life. ❤️🩸 #TimorLeste
