The IFRC is calling for support to respond to a massive surge in people returning to Afghanistan from Iran, with over 1.2 million crossing the border already this year. Our appeal is underfunded & without more help, @ARCSAfghanistan may have to scale back.

In Gaza, the ongoing hostilities have devastated the healthcare system. Over half of @PalestineRCS hospitals, clinics and medical points have ceased operations, while the remaining facilities struggle to function under immense strain and with limited resources, amid the collapse.

Soaring temperatures in Gaza are severely worsening an already catastrophic humanitarian crisis. Over a million people - more than half the population - are enduring the sweltering summer in tents and overcrowded camps. Due to the blockade, clean water is scarce and there's.

Across Europe, the @IFRC network has mobilized to support responders - from those battling fires in Turkey, Greece and Norway to volunteers giving out water and checking on the most vulnerable in Spain, Italy and the UK. I'm in agreement with UN Secretary-General.

In Gaza, we have just passed a very sad milestone. I was deeply saddened to learn of the death of Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) @PalestineRCS nurse Haitham Bassam Abu Issa. Worse is that his death brings to 50 the number of PRCS staff and volunteers killed - both on and

As I conclude my mission to the DRC 🇨🇩, I leave deeply moved by the strength of #DRC_RedCross, the dedication of its 500K+ volunteers, and the resilience of the communities they serve. From government officials to flood-affected camps, from youth training centers to closed-door.
