Proud of the continuous effort by Kenya Red Cross staff and volunteers in Lamu. Search and rescue services at sea are essential for protecting communities navigating the seas.

"The high number of patients far exceeded the number of beds at the hospital." Yet another day of carnage in Gaza. When will this stop! Even wars have limit. Unacceptable.

Such a relief that the young girl was released to our custody in collaboration with the authorities. She will be reunited with her family. We will continue to build on the neutral role of Kenya Red Cross to build humanitarian access in Conflict prone areas.

Deeply saddened. Humanitarian workers and institutions should not be a target. Kenya Red Cross stands in solidarity with colleagues from ICRC and wider Red Cross Red Crescent Movement.
