🔴 What does ⁦@ICRC_ilot⁩ do in #Israel and the occupied #Palestinian territory? 🔴 Why do we speak with all parties to the conflicts? 🔴 What are we doing to visit those who have been abducted? Find the answer to those & other questions here 👇 icrc.org/en/document/fr…


We can't stop armed conflicts, but we are committed to making a difference for those affected. Even wars have limits.

🚨Today our team began carrying out a multi-day operation to facilitate the release and transfer of hostages held in Gaza and of Palestinian detainees to the West Bank. This will include the delivery of additional, much-needed humanitarian assistance into Gaza.

Short explainer about the 3 main principles on how enemies must conduct hostilities to abide by humanitarian law, which aims to safeguard humanity in times of war: distinction - precaution - proportionality. Without full respect for those there can only be human tragedy.

Distinction. Proportionality. Precaution. 3 principles of International Humanitarian Law that work to limit suffering and destruction. Learn more in this video 👉 ms.spr.ly/6014iD48K

As it's getting colder in #Gaza, today we distributed blankets & tarpaulins in Khan Yunis, to nearly 5,000 displaced people. More remain in the cold wind. Despite limited supplies, we are doing everything we can to reach them & to extend a helping hand to those who need us most.

Every day, I read wrong information about the attacks on hospitals during war. Of you want to understand the main issues in 3min, watch @CDroegeICRC on @AlJazeera 👇

Healthcare workers, ambulances, and hospitals must not be just respected but also protected. Watch @CDroegeICRC on @AJEnglish explaining why and how 👇

Today I met families of hostages and Israel's foreign and health ministers. The families' pain is simply heart-wrenching. The hostages must immediately be released. @ICRC will not stop working to gain access to them: and we need agreements to be reached that allow us to work.

As hostilities intensify in Gaza and medical facilities operate in extremely challenging conditions, here is a reminder about the protection of the medical mission in times of war:   For more on the protection of hospitals under IHL: x.com/ICRC/status/17…

Under International Humanitarian Law the principle is clear: Hospitals are protected, because of their life-saving function for wounded & sick. Yes, they can lose their protection, but this is not a free license to attack. @CDroegeICRC, ICRC Chief Legal Officer, explains 👇



As hostilities in & around Gaza City intensify by the hour, @ICRC_ilot is trying all it can to ensure civilians in need of lifesaving medical care get it and doctors and nurses can do their work safely. Some clarifications on how we try & help 👇

We are carefully following up on all the appeals that have come our way in the past two days. We acknowledge the deep frustration, and we are monitoring the situation in #Gaza with profound alarm and our teams are not sparing an effort on the ground. A few clarifications 🧵 👇

Hostilities are severely affecting hospitals and ambulances, and taking a heavy toll on civilians, patients, and medical staff. The healthcare system in Gaza has reached a point of no return. The rules of war are clear. Hospitals must be protected under #IHL.

Settler violence, restrictions of movements, house demolitions, clashes between communities & security forces, … ⁦@ICRC⁩ expresses concern that violence in the occupied West Bank may have irreversible consequences for communities 👇 icrc.org/en/document/ri…


It took quite some legwork but this morning we @ICRC_ilot were able to bring in experienced war surgeons, a weapon contamination expert, medical supplies & water purifying tablets to assist civilians caught in #Gaza conflict. 🙏 @EG_Red_Crescent & RC partners for crucial support!

Humanitarian supplies & personnel arriving in #Gaza. 🏥 to support hospitals & deliver life-saving surgery 🚰 to provide clean drinking water 💔 to support family reunification for any future hostage release William Schomburg, our Head of Subdelegation in Gaza explains more 👇

📢 We facilitated the release of 2 more hostages, transporting them out of #Gaza this evening. Our role as a neutral intermediary makes this work possible & we are ready to facilitate any future release. We hope that they will soon be back with their loved ones.

My urgent plea to the parties to the conflict in Israel and Gaza.   @ICRC is ready with medicine and other relief items. Entry must be granted, and our teams in Gaza must be allowed to work safely and effectively. The situation is critical.
