Dylan Winder, IFRC

It was a pleasure to discuss the meaning & importance of Humanitarian Diplomacy on the newest episode of @IFRC’s #RedVest podcast. Tune in to learn more about how we influence policy at the UN and around the world to deliver better humanitarian outcomes! youtube.com/watch?v=i_GXIT…

On #WorldTsunamiAwarenessDay, we stand with National #RedCross & #RedCrescent Societies, who are helping communities prepare for the next wave. At @UNDRR’s event, IFRC's Finau Heuifanga Leveni shares how the Pacific is leading in risk governance, early warning & resilience.

This Friday, we will host our annual IFRC-DREF Pledging Conference, where donors come together to commit funding for our rapid humanitarian response. The IFRC’s Disaster Response Emergency Fund stands with communities before, during and after crisis.

Hurricane Melissa has left immense devastation in its wake. Nearly 1.9M people in Jamaica are affected, many trapped or in makeshift shelters as floods & landslides continue. The @IFRC has launched an emergency appeal. Urgent help is needed: ifrc.org/press-release/…

The IFRC extends its heartfelt congratulations to the United Nations on the occasion of its 80th anniversary. For decades, the partnership between the @UN and the @IFRC has grown ever stronger, united by a shared commitment to humanity, peace, and dignity. #UNDay

With a ceasefire offering a brief respite from violence, attention must now turn to what happens next. While more aid has begun entering Gaza, it remains far below what is needed. Safe and unimpeded access is vital to ensure help reaches all communities. 👉bit.ly/4ol1xPD

Today, #IFRC spoke at the #UNGA for the first time since States agreed to develop a treaty on the Protection of Persons in the Event of Disasters.   A treaty w/ one goal: to protect people and save lives. Linked are IFRC's proposals. disasterlaw.ifrc.org/media/4449 #PPED #disasterlaw

This month marks the 60th anniversary of the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross & Red Crescent Movement. Attacks on humanitarians are at record highs. Humanitarian space is shrinking. Our Principles must be respected – or millions will pay the price.

Yesterday, @IFRC, @AustraliaUN, @BDRCS1 & @BRAC hosted Cox’s Bazar at a Crossroads. Investment in Rohingya leadership & local organisations go together. Localization is efficiency & lasting resilience.

At today’s Conf on the Rohingya, @IFRC and @BDRCS1 called for greater humanitarian support & protection for the Rohingya people & other minorities - prioritizing life-saving aid & investing in longer-term interventions across the region.

This year marks the highest number of humanitarian workers killed on record. Most of them were local responders who put their lives on the line to help others. 🚫 This is unacceptable. 🚫 It violates International Humanitarian Law. 🚫 Even the protected Red Cross and Red…

The IFRC President @KateForbes_IFRC joined the launch of the Australian-led Declaration for the Protection of Humanitarian Personnel. A promise to safeguard humanitarians, ensure accountability when they are attacked, ensuring concrete action

The @IFRC will be at #UNGA80. We will push for action that: ✅ protects humanitarian workers ✅ tackles global crises ✅ supports locally-led climate action ✅ enables local actors to prepare & respond effectively in crises Together, we can advance humanity for all.

In times of crisis, access to mental health support is essential. Hear from Sharifa, a female volunteer with @ARCSAfghanistan, who shares the distress she has witnessed while deployed in the earthquake-affected area and the support she has provided.

In Afghanistan, people are in desperate need of shelter, medical care & relief after the earthquake. The @ARCSAfghanistan is on the ground providing life-saving help. In response, the @IFRC has launched an emergency appeal. Help us make a difference 👉bit.ly/4m2vN0e

Humanitarian workers must be protected. For the sake, quite simply, of humanity. This #WorldHumanitarianDay we renew our calls louder: - Respect: States must uphold international laws to protect humanitarians. - Prevent: Immediate action from authorities to prevent further…

We are devastated by the attack on the Palestine Red Crescent Society headquarters in Khan Younis, which killed our @PalestineRCS colleague Omar Isleem & injured two staff members & a civilian. Humanitarians & civilians must be protected.

Today, at the High-level International Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine in New York, we delivered a clear message on behalf of @IFRC: humanitarian aid must flow freely, and the protection of civilians and humanitarian workers must be upheld.

In Gaza, the situation is beyond tragic. Basic food supplies are lacking, & prices have skyrocketed, making it difficult to meet the minimum daily nutritional needs of millions. Children face life-threatening malnutrition. Safe & unhindered humanitarian access is needed. Now

Massive wildfires swept through over 60 villages in Syria’s Latakia and Tartous regions in late June causing widespread damage. In response, the @IFRC has released funds from its @IFRC_DREF to support urgent health, water, and cash relief through the @SYRedCrescent
