ICRC UK & Ireland

In emergencies, every second matters. Today in #Maiduguri, we supported @nrcs_ng with vital medical supplies to swiftly respond to needs of conflict-affected civilians. From first aid kits to stretchers & protective equipment, these tools help save lives when it matters most.

@ICRC @ICRC_Africa I’m proud of the progress we’ve made - especially in tough times. But there’s still work ahead. I unpack the bigger picture in a recent interview with the ICRC. If you’re interested in how this programme is evolving, read more here: icrc.org/en/article/icr…

@ICRC @ICRC_Africa To improve sustainability, we’ve strengthened our planning and stock management, ensuring materials are ordered based on real-time needs. This improves efficiency, all without compromising quality of care.

Hi, I’m Philip. I lead the @ICRC physical rehabilitation programme for Somalia. Follow me as I share how we work with the Somali Red Crescent Society to help people move again and rebuild their lives. 📸 Sabrin, one and a half, was born with a dislocated shoulder.

🇬🇧 @UKinEthiopia and 🇨🇦 @CanadaEthiopia visited ICRC operations in Western Oromia, Ethiopia, seeing firsthand how conflict impacts communities and how we support people living through protracted crises. We thank both for their long-standing support to @ICRC operations worldwide.

📍Gaza One year has passed since the killing of 8 @PalestineRCS medics and 7 other first responders in Gaza. Our thoughts today are with their loved ones. Humanitarian workers must be able to carry their work in safety.

Across Lebanon, daily life has been replaced by uncertainty and survival. Families are displaced, services are strained, and the risk is constant. Yet even in these conditions, medical and humanitarian workers continue to save lives. Civilians must be protected, and the human cost of the conflict cannot be ignored.

Excellent discussion yesterday with parliamentarians from the Conflict Resolution & Peacebuilding APPG on the humanitarian situation in the Middle East. Grateful to @AlexBallingerMP, @HodgsonFiona, @monicabeharding for their engagement.

📍Tel Aviv "We call on all parties to the conflict to respect international humanitarian law" - Yuval Arie Nevo, ICRC in Tel Aviv. In the conduct of military operations, constant care must be taken to spare the civilian population and civilian objects.
