Those who fail to protect human dignity during war plant the seeds of the next one. That’s one of the timeless lessons we’ve leant in the past 160 years.

Proud to mark another milestone in our trusted partnership with @Qatar_Fund. Flexible funding like this empowers the ICRC to respond rapidly and uphold our humanitarian mission where it’s needed most.

In diplomatic and public exchanges, I’m often told that International Humanitarian Law (IHL) — meant to protect civilians, the sick and wounded, and prisoners — has eroded. It hasn’t. The law stands. What’s eroded is our collective will to uphold it. That must change! Urgently.

There's nothing left to rely on for +2 million people in Gaza. Non-stop devastating hostilities, evacuation orders & continued blockage of aid make no room for any meaningful humanitarian action. Spare the children, women, elderly, injured, disabled & the remaining hospitals.

Here’s the thing: we may these days feel overwhelmed by the scale of suffering, but that must never make us indifferent. We owe it to one another never to lose sight of our shared humanity.
