179 civilians shot, bombed, killed while seeking food and water.
The ICRC hospital in Rafah saw its worst day yet: overwhelmed with injured and dead, including children. Humanitarian aid is not a luxury—it’s an obligation. www.icrc.org/en/statement...

Deeply saddened by the death of two ICRC colleagues in a bombing in Khan Younis, Gaza.
We honour their commitment—and mourn with their loved ones. Their loss is a tragic reminder of the risks humanitarian workers face every day.

#Sudan: For nearly two years, armed forces and militias devastate communities with violence, destruction and blocked aid. The international response has failed to act.

We urgently call for an end to violence against civilians and a new commitment to deliver essential aid.

Access to safe abortion care is a matter of health and human rights—it saves lives, whether in Texas or Kandahar.

📍 Gaza | Today, our office in Rafah was damaged by an explosive projectile despite being clearly marked and notified to all parties.
