The village relied on a fragile water line that often did not function, deepening the daily struggles of its residents. This year, the ICRC helped install a pipeline to connect the village to the water supply network.

For 2 years, the Red Cross Field Hospital has provided lifesaving care, and now we have refurbished and upgraded it to continue its essential work. But healing people in #Gaza takes more than this, it takes clean water, sanitation & news about the whereabouts of their loved ones.

Different landscapes. Different crises. The same human heart.
Across the world, our staff and volunteers and the people they serve are neighbors, friends, colleagues, family members.
This is what unites us. This is who we are, united in humanity. #8May #RedCrossRedCrescentDay

Together with @PalestineRCS, the ICRC weapon contamination team installed 10 murals to warn of the ongoing threat of explosive remnants of war. Unexploded weapons endanger civilians, especially children, long after the conflict stops. These murals save lives and prevent injuries.

In #Gaza, many health facilities are damaged or destroyed. Yet healthcare workers at Al-Shifa Hospital are still showing up — and still being trained.
This month, they completed Basic Emergency Care (BEC) training. Here's why that matters. 👇

Since the 7 Oct. attacks the ICRC has elevated its support to first responders in Israel. We helped ZAKA - an org. dedicated to the handling of deceased - to purchase advanced lighting systems. “When you want to honour a person after death, you can’t afford to miss anything.”

Today we remember the six million Jewish men, women, and children murdered, and millions of others murdered and persecuted during the Holocaust. We honour their memory and stand in remembrance with all the communities affected by this atrocity.

During the regional escalation, Magen David Adom teams play a pivotal role, treating the wounded in the many sites across Israel. We are full of appreciation of how MDA has performed this life saving work.
We remain committed to supporting our partners, according to their needs.
