ICRC Jordan

“Jordan has emerged as a strategic logistics hub for the ICRC in the Middle East, facilitating the delivery of aid to conflict areas including Gaza, Yemen, Syria & beyond” Head of ICRC delegation in #Jo, @YFridezICRC, during the media workshop held on Wed. jordantimes.com/news/local/jor…

The workshop focused on strengthening the role of legal advisers in military decision-making and promoting respect for international humanitarian law during armed conflicts. Fourteen officers from different units participated to build capacity and integrate (IHL).

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) organized a workshop for unit commanders and operational legal advisers from the Jordan Armed Forces – Arab Army. +

In #Gaza, many health facilities are damaged or destroyed. Yet healthcare workers at Al-Shifa Hospital are still showing up — and still being trained. This month, they completed Basic Emergency Care (BEC) training. Here's why that matters. 👇

As part of ongoing cooperation with the @Police_Jo, ICRC held a 2-day workshop on “Powers of Law Enforcement Officials and Human Rights,” bringing together police officers to exchange expertise and promote respect for international laws.

Millions of people worldwide are forced to flee their homes due to armed conflict, other violence, disasters, or human rights violations, yet remain within their own country’s borders. They are known as internally displaced persons (IDPs). On this anniversary of the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, we highlight the importance of strengthening protection for everyone affected by displacement as a consequence of conflict or violence.

Our logistics teams in #Jordan have been working tirelessly to prepare and deliver humanitarian supplies to those most in need.⬇️

18 years old, 30 surgeries & still waiting to walk again. Yasmin's story is one of thousands in #Gaza, where hospitals are on the brink of collapse & medical supplies are critically low.

After a strike near Tebnin Hospital shattered glass, damaged equipment, and injured staff, teams moved quickly to restore what they could and keep the only hospital in the area running. Under IHL, medical teams must be protected to be able to perform their duties safely.

From #Jordan to➡️Iran 🛣️ICRC has dispatched 171 metric tonnes of essential relief items to the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS), this marks the first ICRC shipment to Iran since the latest escalation of hostilities. Read more 📷 ms.spr.ly/6016Q7tb4

We are deeply appalled by the continued harm to humanitarian and medical personnel in Lebanon, including the killing and injury of first responders while carrying out life-saving duties. Saving lives must never cost a life. Humanitarian and medical personnel must be protected.

فصح مجيد! كل عام والجميع بخير... The ICRC Delegation in #Jordan extends its warmest wishes to everyone who is celebrating #Easter, hoping for peace, stability and prosperity. #EasterSunday

📍 Lebanon | The predominant sound in the streets of Beirut on Wednesday was that of the sirens of ambulances, trying to evacuate the wounded and injured as a result of the airstrikes. Shawky Amine Eddine, ICRC Humanitarian Affairs Advisor, speaks to @AlArabiya_Eng

Nowhere feels safe. Fear, panic, saying goodbye without knowing if it’s the last time. Every call or message carries one question: are they safe? The reality for many in #Lebanon today. Mariam & her family survived. But nothing feels the same. Some days don’t end, they stay.

We are outraged by the devastating death and destruction in densely populated areas across Lebanon today following intensified military operations. @ICRC_lb is working closely with local authorities and the @RedCrossLebanon to support the medical response as overwhelmed medical facilities absorb an influx of casualties. Any comprehensive agreement for the region must consider the safety, protection and dignity of civilians in Lebanon. We reiterate our urgent call on all parties to protect and respect civilians and civilian objects during military operations. Read more 👉🏽 ms.spr.ly/6011QNhSf

"Any war fought without limits is incompatible with the law. It is indefensible, inhumane and devastating for entire populations" -ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric on the hostilities in the Middle East. Full statement👇 icrc.org/en/news-releas…

Even after the conflict, mines & explosive ordnance still threaten lives. One wrong step can be the last. Stay on safe paths & report any suspicious objects immediately. #International_Mine_Awareness_Day

Every day, landmines &explosive remnants of war claim lives, shatter families and devastate communities. they leave scars that last for decades, forcing entire communities to live in fear. On the #MineAwarenessDay we call on all parties to conflicts to stop using them.

📍 Iran | We are devastated by the news of the killing of our colleague Alireza Sohbatloo, a relief worker from the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS), who died in an airstrike on 31 March while providing critical humanitarian support at a medical clinic in Zanjan. A total of three IRCS colleagues have lost their lives while performing their humanitarian duties this month alone. This is appalling. It is a devastating reminder of the human cost of this conflict and the dangers facing those working tirelessly to help others.
