Neutral, impartial, independent local actors are key to save lives. Proud of the life-saving work done by @RedCrossUkraine teams and by all #RedCross national societies of the neighboring countries. We @ifrc will continue supporting locally-led humanitarian action. #Ukraine

The @PalestineRCS received again the order to evacuate Al Quds hospital in Gaza City. Hundreds of patients are receiving medical care, including in the intensive care units and children in incubators. Doctors, nurses, patients must be protected. Hospitals are #NotATarget

In #HongKong Polytechnic University our #RedCross teams are able to gain access and trust of every party. Proud of them and of their work for vulnerable people without any difference of political affiliation, gender or religion. Local actors are always crucial!

Honored to have opened the first ever #RedCross #RedCrescent virtual climate conference - the #ClimateRed summit! +7000 participants from +180 countries. We have contributed to save the equivalent of 10 millions kg of CO2 emissions and it keeps us safe in times of #COVID19

The horrific and shocking images of the attacks on patients and ambulances close to Al-Shifa hospital in #Gaza remember me the Markale market shelling in Sarajevo. These scenes are unacceptable! Civilians, ambulances, doctors, hospitals must be protected. Always. #NotATarget

Horrified by what happened at the Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza. The hospital was full of patients and people seeking protection. Civilians, healthcare workers and facilities are protected under international humanitarian law. Even war has rules!

Collectively the #RedCross #RedCrescent Movement has a unique power to raise the concerns of people suffering from crises – conflict and violence, climate shocks and migration. We @ifrc @icrc are at the #UNGA to bring the voice of the most vulnerable, making sure they are heard.
