It’s devastating to see the attacks across Ukraine this morning, including on a children’s hospital and maternity hospital in Kyiv. Thank you to @RedCrossUkraine teams who are on the ground responding. A reminder that hospitals, healthcare workers and patients are not a target.

In 2023, we saw people risking and losing their lives on a dangerous migratory route in the Central Mediterranean. But working together aboard the Ocean Viking, @IFRC and @SOSMedIntl teams saved thousands of lives at sea. And we will continue to do so in 2024. 🛟🤍
