20,000 staff, 100 countries, 1 mission: to uphold IHL and protect and assist people affected by conflict and violence.
Info
Established in 1863, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) works worldwide to provide humanitarian help for people affected by conflict and armed violence and to promote the laws that protect victims of war. An independent and neutral organization, its mandate stems essentially from the Geneva Conventions of 1949. It takes action in response to emergencies and promotes respect for international humanitarian law and its implementation in national law. We work closely with National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and with their International Federation to ensure a concerted, rational and rapid humanitarian response to the needs of the victims of armed conflict or any other situation of internal violence.

The Red Cross field hospital in #Gaza is being used as a polio vaccination point. Around 1,000 children received the vaccine there yesterday. While the vaccination campaign is welcome, people are still living in dire conditions. “People in Gaza have been facing appalling living conditions for months. They need far better access to health care more broadly, as well as food, clean water and sanitation facilities. It’s the only way to reduce the risk of communicable infections and diseases,” said Sandy Inglis, senior medical officer at the Red Cross Field Hospital.
