We are deeply concerned by the recent incident in Ostriv, Ukraine, where a @UNOCHA convoy was hit by drones while delivering aid.   Under #IHL, humanitarian personnel, facilities and transport used in relief operations must be respected and protected at all times. #NotATarget

A clearly marked UN vehicle was damaged by two drone strikes while delivering supplies to civilians living in Ostriv, #Ukraine. While the team managed to safely exit the location, this is not an isolated incident. Read more: bit.ly/4wBcIZM

Our thoughts remain with the families and colleagues of the 13 Red Cross and Red Crescent staff and volunteers who lost their lives while serving others this year. Protecting humanitarian personnel must remain a global priority.
Jagan Chapagain@jagan_chapagain

The numbers tell a clear story: humanitarian work is becoming increasingly deadly, and local staff and volunteers are paying the heaviest price. The Red Cross, Red Crescent and Red Crystal emblems are symbols of protection. As we said in our statement last week, humanitarian personnel, facilities and assets must be respected and protected. Attacks on humanitarians are unacceptable. They must never be normalized. The @IFRC calls for concrete steps to support initiatives such as the Declaration for the Protection of Humanitarian Personnel @GOF_PHP. 👉bit.ly/4np4QWP

As hostilities intensify globally, those delivering life saving aid face growing risks. All parties must uphold their obligations to protect humanitarian personnel.

The Co-Chairs of the Group of Friends for the Protection of Humanitarian Personnel, Australia 🇦🇺 and Jordan 🇯🇴, are deeply concerned by rising harm to humanitarian and medical workers. @AustraliaUN_GVA @JOR_PM_Geneva
ICRC@ICRC

"We are outraged that humanitarian workers continue to be killed across conflicts. Since hostilities erupted across the Middle East, humanitarian and medical personnel are being caught in the line of fire, putting at risk the lifelines civilians depend on to survive." This is part of a joint statement by the @ICRC President and the IFRC President, @KateForbes_IFRC, on the increasing attacks against humanitarian and medical personnel.
