Today is my last day at @ICRC. Sixteen years to the day since my departure for my first mission in Darfur in August 2007.
It has been an honor to serve and be part of making a difference in the lives of some.

As the world is urbanizing, conflicts are urbanizing too.
@ICRC is calling on States and parties to prevent and mitigate the cumulative and growing humanitarian impacts of #UrbanWarfare.

Cities may become ghost towns unless critical infrastructure can be maintained, people receive support to rebuild livelihoods, and civilians who are forced to flee are better protected.

ICRC Syria@ICRC_sy
In #Syria, over a decade of conflict has shattered families and destroyed lives, homes and infrastructure. Over a decade on, millions are still critically in need of assistance. In 2021 alone, the ICRC has assisted over 17 million people across Syria.

Urban warfare affects 50 million people: lives and livelihoods shattered, homes destroyed, access to essential services impaired.
At #WUF11, @ICRC engages municipal authorities on ways to strengthen urban resilience, and calls on belligerents to uphold their IHL obligations.

When cities are bombed. When cities are shelled. When cities are hit by airstrikes, rockets or artillery fire. It’s the civilians who suffer.

ICYMI, a retweet from last week on day 2 of #WUF11. From #Iraq to #Syria, from #Yemen to #Ukraine, #WarinCities is escalating. @ICRC is calling on States and parties to prevent and mitigate the cumulative and growing impacts of #UrbanWarfare.

ICRC in Brussels@ICRC_bxl
Armed conflicts are increasingly fought in urban areas. From Aleppo to Mosul, from Gaza to Kharkiv, 50 million people suffer the consequences of urban warfare.

States can’t achieve their commitments in the #newurbanagenda if they don’t respect #InternationalHumanitarianLaw and mitigate the cumulative impacts of #WarinCities and #urbanviolence on people.
#WUF11 @UNHABITAT @IFRC

@ICRC’s call to action #2 at #WUF11: States and others must do more to mitigate the cumulative impact of #WarinCities on people’s lives.

Now at the #WUF11 'Extraordinary Dialogue on Urban Crisis Response and Recovery', @GCarbonnierICRC calls for better support to #WarinCities to mitigate the cumulative impacts on habitat, livelihoods, essential services and critical infrastructure people depend on.
