Crisis upon crisis. Afghanistan faces an escalating humanitarian crisis following a devastating series of earthquakes. I urgently call for immediate action & international support. Our appeal is critically underfunded. Afghanistan cannot be forgotten. bit.ly/48TjFcO

It is urgent that humanitarian access to Gaza be opened. Surgeries without anesthesia, without water, without medicine, without electricity. Human suffering is unacceptable anywhere in the world and even more so when borders are closed not allowing essential humanitarian goods.

The terrible events of the last two weeks are part of an unfolding tragedy that has been going on for a century. You can't make sense of it without understanding the past. This book by the late Ian Black was praised by both Israeli and Palestinian historians for its balance.

Civilians are not a #NotATarget. Hospitals are not a #NotATarget. Ambulances are not a #NotATarget. Humanitarian workers are not a #NotATarget. Our National Society teams are not a #NotATarget. Even in the darkest moment of humanity, there are rules to be followed.

The situation around Al-Quds Hospital in Gaza is dire: - The hospital is running low on fuel - The surgery ward had to close - It has come under fire - PRCS teams are unable to operate at full capacity I urge all parties to give safe & unhindered access across Gaza.

Today, we launched the IFRC Global Plan 2024 which defines our priorities for the year ahead. I take this opportunity to thank all the countries we work in, our key partners as well as many countries that provide generous financial support & strategic advice throughout the year.

Today, at #COP28, Rode Kruis & @IFRC held a side event on Water at the Heart of Climate Action. Proud of our partnership with Rode Kruis UNDRR World Meteorological Organization Systematic Observations Financing Facility (SOFF) aiming at addressing climate-related risks. Water is life. But too much or too little water can disrupt people's lives.

Congratulations team AP for all such accomplishments in 2023 - this was possible as you believed in your team, you have trusted and inspired all to keep doing good works. Let's continue the same spirit and inspiration to do much better in 2024. Happy New Year 2024

Some of the poorest and most vulnerable people in the world live around these districts of Kandahar, Afghanistan. IFRC is working with افغاني سره میاشت and Gates Foundation to deliver routine immunization. It addresses one major risk. There are so many others to consider.

People in Herat and Samangan provinces, Afganistan severly affected by climate change. The Afganistan RC, through its community resilience n climate program, supports livelihoods, water supply via solar power systems. Huge positive impact on people's lives. Great work of ARCS.
