Deze week in Genève: de Internationale Conferentie van het Rode Kruis en de Rode Halve Maan! Overheden en 191 zusterorganisaties komen samen om mensen in nood beter te beschermen. Welke thema's staan centraal? En wat maakt deze editie bijzonder? #RCRC24 rodekruis.nl/nieuwsbericht/…

Today is the birthday of Henri Dunant. He founded the #RedCross #RedCrescent movement on the principles of treating each other humanely in war & conflict. Huge respect for all those volunteers & professionals on the ground helping others. @ifrc @ICRC @RodeKruis

Today is Henri Dunant’s birthday! The Netherlands 🇳🇱 commends the work of the Red Cross movement for people in need across the globe. @ICRC @IFRC and its national societies are most valued partners for principled humanitarian action and diplomacy. #KeepingHumanityAlive

Deeply saddened to hear this news from #Sudan. 🇳🇱 Our deepest condolences to their families and friends, and to the entire International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. Humanitarian workers risk their lives every day. They are #NotATarget and must be protected under #IHL.

#Gaza The human suffering is shocking. Thousands killed. People have limited access to food & water. Hospitals are near collapse. Hospital corridors are full of wounded & displaced. Destroyed infrastructure & homes will take years to rebuild. ❌ Even wars have limits.

International humanitarian law is clear Civilians - Medical professionals - Hospitals - Ambulances - Clinics All are protected under the law of war.
