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

No matter where you are in the world, civilians and civilian infrastructure are #NotATarget. Thank you to @RedCrossUkraine for supporting people affected by recent shelling in Odesa.
The inhabitants of Odesa in Ukraine experienced fearful moments last Sunday when shelling hit the city. @RedCrossUkraine was there to support them.
