Massive attacks struck #Ukraine's key cities Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia and Lviv overnight, causing havoc in residential areas, schools and critical facilities. @RedCrossUkraine rapid response units are on-site, delivering urgent aid to those in need.

Humanity at its best. In collaboration with @EG_Red_Crescent, the @PalestineRCS is working on setting up the first organized camp for displaced people in the southern region of Gaza. As a first step, 300 tents are being set up to reach those in need. https://t.co/9vU2WmmF2W

The election of @KateForbes_IFRC as President of the IFRC is a historic moment, marking her as only the second woman to hold this position. This underscores the @IFRC's commitment to diversity and gender equality in its leadership. This is a significant step forward for us,

Across Gaza, we need security guarantees to be able to deliver life-saving assistance. We stand ready to fulfill our role as a neutral intermediary & support evacuations of medical facilities in Gaza, but this requires an agreement by the parties.

Taking #hostages is prohibited under International Humanitarian Law. @ICRC facilitated the release of 4 of them in Gaza. We keeps tirelessly pressing for immediate access to - and release of - all remaining hostages.

The plight of those still being held hostage is a top priority for us. We facilitated the release of 4 hostages. We are pushing to visit those remaining. But we need the support of all those who have influence to make this happen.

I am deeply alarmed to hear that an ICRC humanitarian convoy in Gaza City came under fire while bringing lifesaving support. I can't stress this enough: civilians, hospitals, ambulances, humanitarian workers must be protected. We stand in solidarity with our ICRC colleagues.

We are deeply troubled that our humanitarian convoy in Gaza City came under fire today. It was carrying lifesaving medical supplies to health facilities, including Al Quds @PalestineRCS hospital. Under IHL, humanitarian workers must be protected. 👇 https://t.co/sUcbJlkXYL
