In 2024, nearly 90,500 Red Cross Messages were delivered, helping people separated by conflict reconnect with their loved ones when no other means of communication were possible. When all other ways to connect are gone, hope can still travel by hand. #InternationalDayOfFamilies

Protecting civilians in armed conflict remains an obligation for all parties under international humanitarian law (IHL). Mirjana Spoljaric, ICRC president, tells @BeckyCNN, after a recent visit to Iran.

Nuclear power plants carry risks that don’t stay contained. When they’re damaged, the consequences can spread across borders, across generations, and across the environment we all depend on. That’s why the rules of war set strict limits: to prevent harm that cannot be undone.

Over 130 armed conflicts are raging today, twice as many as 15 years ago. Wars are lasting longer, growing more complex, and trapping entire generations. Learn more about why it matters to legally classify armed conflicts 👇🏽

As conflicts evolve, the erosion of norms and the targeting of essential infrastructure risk making recovery harder and de-escalation more distant. @ICRC President speaks to @TheNationalNews, in a sit-down with @_HadleyGamble.🎙️

Staying neutral allows us to do our job. It is not indifference: it is a deliberate choice. Our mission comes from the Geneva Conventions, universal laws that preserve a degree of humanity, even in war. Today, 163 years since our founding, neutrality remains as crucial as ever.

“We are seeing energy, fuel, water and health-care infrastructure damaged and destroyed. This disturbing trend is not limited to the Middle East or the last three weeks; it has been pervasive in conflicts across regions.”: Mirjana Spoljaric, ICRC President.

Killing or injuring healthcare workers, bombing hospitals, targeting ambulances, isn’t just a "war consequence"; it’s a collapse of humanity. Under international humanitarian law, patients and humanitarian workers are protected along with the hospitals they work in and the ambulances they rely on.
