On the ground at the Lebanese-Syrian border, IFRC team witnessed the unwavering commitment of the Syrian Red Crescent to displaced people from #Lebanon. The empathy shown by SARC’s staff and volunteers, especially toward the most vulnerable—pregnant women, the elderly, and people

In #Kandahar summer temps get up to 42+ degrees! So we're building a sun shade in this playground to ensure kids have a safe place to be kids while their mothers do vocational training courses to help earn an income.

#Pakistan is rated 5th most vulnerable country to climate change, so it was great to attend the launch of a new phase of the Pakistan Red Crescent program on climate resilience. This will support local initiatives to make communities better prepared for disasters. British Red Cross 🧡

With faith, Afghan father Arif Shah - dad of 9 - left Pakistan to return home. 'Tawakal ba Khuda,' he whispered: trust in God. He carried decades of loss, hope, and courage across the border. One of millions returning with dignity and dreams. #AfghanistanCrisis #IFRC

In times of great disaster is when the Red Cross Movement is most needed. Thank you to the volunteers and staff of the Indian Red Cross Society who have been supporting the ongoing response and will no doubt continue for months to come. Our thoughts are with you.

The recent conflict between Iran and Israel accelerated the return of Afghan people from Iran to Afghanistan. A difficult journey for these famille who are restarting from scratch. Support and help from the international community is essential. linkedin.com/posts/sfakhour…

In just 18 months, more than 2 million Afghans have returned from Iran and Pakistan, facing immense challenges with little support. It’s time for international aid to shift from short-term emergency relief to rebuilding lives. Alexander Matheou speaks with قناة الجزيرة Watch here 📺👉
