A pleasure to co-host the IFRC-DREF pledging conference today. Huge sums promised for those who need them most.
Grateful for the support from Governments, National Societies, and partners at our @IFRC_DREF Pledging Conference 2025. Over the past 5 years, IFRC-DREF has allocated 295 million Swiss francs, targeting 80 million people worldwide, with 75% of funds going directly to National…
We are deeply grateful to their Majesties King Charles III, Patron of the British Red Cross, and Queen Camilla for their generous donation to the IFRC emergency appeal supporting communities affected by Hurricane Melissa. Their support will help the @IFRC provide life-saving…
Since late 2023, the @EG_Red_Crescent, supported by @IFRC, has assisted over 22,000 Palestinian evacuees and family members in Egypt. Through health care, MHPSS, and essential aid, ERCS ensures dignity and stability for those in recovery.
Pre-preparation helped, and the scale-up of help, in all its forms, is well underway.
"This is a major Category 5 storm, the strongest on the planet this year & the most powerful hurricane to threaten the island in known history," @IFRC Head of Delegation for English & Dutch speaking Caribbean countries @Necephor told reporters in Geneva. bit.ly/4hztH7A
Addressing the impacts of the climate crisis is a strategic priority for the @IFRC. Together with our 191 member National Societies we ‘hit’ it through local action on a global scale. It’s an approach that focuses on impact of climate on Health, scale of Investment and…
Together with Deputy Prime Minister @Xavier_Bettel it was a pleasure to attend the 2nd #Humanitarian Innovation Accelerator Pitch Event hosted by @MFA_Lu and organized in partnership with @WFPInnovation. In a global context marked by rising humanitarian needs and limited…
Finally, a hopeful day . . . The IFRC network, through our regional Emergency Appeal, is ready to support
Today, across the Middle East, is the most positive in more than two years. The release of hostages, and freeing of detainees, are profoundly important for families who have endured the unimaginable. The significant ramp up of aid to Gaza is a long-overdue lifeline. We must…
Love the old footage. Principles' purposes stay the same as they modernise. Like trucks!
Across borders. Across conflicts. Across decades. Today marks the 60th anniversary of the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, a reaffirmation of principles that mean the difference between life and death for millions of people. For…
60 years ago, the world agreed: humanitarian action must remain neutral, impartial, & independent. Today, these principles are being eroded. We must protect them. We urge States to ensure funding remains flexible, predictable, & unconditional, based on humanitarian needs alone.
6o years of principles; never needed more.
Humanity. Impartiality. Neutrality. Independence. Voluntary service. Unity. Universality. From Vienna in 1965 to today’s frontlines, the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement remain the compass that makes humanitarian action possible.…
Visiting communities in Myanmar devastated by the March 28 earthquake, I was torn between hope & fear. The strength of survivors—and our @IFRC network, affected themselves—is inspiring. But urgent support is still needed. My reflections in this piece: bit.ly/3ZqcfKI👇
Very pleased to see agreement. The @IFRC contributed to the content of this pandemic treaty. The next step is for governments to deliver on their commitments - so that responses to future pandemics are more equitable than those of the past. Congratulations @DrTedros and @WHO.…
Pleased to talk to @jonathansamuels the need for an independent investigation into the awful killing of Palestine Red Crescent Staff in Gaza. Impunity in any place breeds impunity in every place.
"I think all the accounts suggest that they were there for a purely humanitarian purpose." @Jagan_Chapagain of the @IFRC calls for an independent investigation after 15 emergency workers were killed near Rafah. Latest: trib.al/v8mXD8E 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602 and YouTube
I am grateful for the response to my opinion article in the Guardian. For the sake of humanity, this must never happen again. bit.ly/3YiQZpA
To mourn the loss of eight Palestine Red Crescent members killed in Gaza, and stand in solidarity with colleagues in Palestine and other places where humanitarian workers have died, the flags at our IFRC Geneva headquarters are flying at half-mast. A ninth @PalestineRCS member…
In the camps outside Idlib are people desperate to return home. They should - and the humanitarian community must help them, with infrastructure like water and power, and jobs. The @SYRedCrescent and the @IFRC are ready to help.
The release of some hostages and a tentative peace in Gaza for the first time in too many months is very very good news. But there is a long way to go. I look forward to seeing more hostages released soon. And we need the peace to hold. As this life-saving window opens, our…
After 15 awful months – for hostages and their families, and for the people of Gaza – I’m delighted that a hostage-release and ceasefire deal has finally been reached. I congratulate all those involved in what have been long and difficult negotiations. There is much still to…
