'Why are you silent?' In the age of social media, it's easy to criticize. But for us, denouncing one side in a war only happens when all other options are exhausted. Here we explain why we work behind closed doors to reach those in need. 👇

Mohamed Khalel was sitting outside his home in Khartoum, Sudan, when he was caught in a crossfire. Hit by a bullet, his life was saved by paramedics. But Mohamed couldn't afford the surgery to remove the bullet lodged in his body, and he now struggles with increasing pain.

38 years ago, #Chornobyl changed our world. Today, nuclear disaster risks remain a major concern☢️ When sites like nuclear power plants become battlegrounds, the stakes for civilians are immense. International Humanitarian Law (#IHL) includes provisions for their protection ⚖️

Ethical considerations are crucial - yet unrealized - for regulating autonomous weapon systems. In today's post, @blancharder argues that for new efforts to succeed, we will have to clarify the role of ethics in the debate. blogs.icrc.org/law-and-policy… #IHL #AWS2024Vienna

Birthdays. Anniversaries. Holidays. Special occasions. For more than six months, those held hostage and their families have not been able to celebrate events and milestones together – the empty chairs at tables are a painful reminder each and every day of their absence.

#Syria 💧 Water must be accessible to everyone, everywhere. With @SYRedCrescent, our teams finished a project in Idlib to provide about 5,000 people with water. This included the rehabilitation of the station, providing a generator & 2 pumps and fixing the water tank.
