Nous exhortons les États à ne pas se retirer du Traité d'Ottawa : c'est parce que nous connaissons le terrain que nous savons que l'avantage militaire de l'utilisation de mines antipersonnel ne vaut pas les dommages humains dévastateurs et durables qu'elles causent.
Health staff in #Gaza carry their jobs in impossible conditions, risking their own lives. Recently, one of our nurses and her 9-month-old baby were injured. Her oldest son died. This is unacceptable. The rules of war are clear: Civilians and health personnel must be protected
Recently, one of our nurses was injured. Her tent was hit by an explosive device, killing her oldest son. She & her 9-month-old baby were wounded. She was admitted to the same ward where she worked. 📸 A bloody stretcher waiting to be cleaned & used again (warning: graphic)
Very intersting discussion at @ItalyatNATO with @EFillionICRC on the humanitarian situation in Ukraine and Gaza. Italy is engaged in alleviating civilian sufferings in war areas and value the hard work of @ICRC in advocating the respect of international law.
Thanks to @eu_echo for supporting our prevention work and dialogue with States and armed groups on their #IHL obligations.

👣 Little Abubaker is learning to walk again. Born with clubfoot - a condition where the foot is twisted out of shape - his treatment began at the @ICRC_Af physical rehabilitation centre when he was just 3 days old. 📷 The joy on his face says it all.
📍 Gaza | We are devastated by the killing of our colleague Mahmoud Barakeh, who worked at the Red Cross Field Hospital. He was killed on his way home on Sunday, 22 June. Our hearts are with his family and loved ones. Five ICRC colleagues have been killed in Gaza since October…

📍 Iran | We are appalled by the killing of three aid workers from the Iranian Red Crescent Society (@Iran_RCS) while they were carrying out their humanitarian work. Our condolences go out to their families, friends, and colleagues.
📍 Israel | Over the last days, multiple volunteers of Magen David Adom (@Mdais) were injured while working to save the lives of others. Medical volunteers and other humanitarian workers save lives and should be able to do so in safety.

Dismayed by the tragic events in #NorthDarfur. 5 humanitarians from WFP &UNICEF lost their lives, and several were injured while delivering life-saving supplies. Their mission was strictly one of humanity. Humanitarian workers must be protected, always, everywhere. #NotATarget
