In armed conflict, hunger rarely begins with an empty plate. On World Food Day, we call on all parties to conflict to respect international humanitarian law, which prohibits starving civilians as a method of warfare and protects the objects indispensable to their survival. #WorldFoodDay

Attacks on: Museums Religious sites Historic monuments Libraries Are attacks on: Our identity. Our history. Our humanity. Cultural property and places of worship are protected under international humanitarian law. Even during war.

We’re not experts at playing ⚽. But in 90 countries, 18,000 professionals work to do what we were created for: support people affected by armed conflict and uphold the rules of war. Rooted in the Geneva Conventions, our mission is simple: even in war, humanity matters.

This happened:

Civilians remain protected at all times: it doesn’t matter if they stay or if they leave. International humanitarian law prohibits ordering civilians to leave their homes, with narrow exceptions for their safety or military necessity. Learn more: ms.spr.ly/63325vdWDz

Israel's refusal to grant ICRC access to Palestinian detainees after October 7th—despite the exhortations of the Biden administration—was a flashing red light. ICRC access is a basic safeguard for humane treatment, one mandated by US law for LOAC detainees. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/03/w...

In armed conflicts, access to food is often disrupted, leaving millions facing hunger. Crops, livestock, and water sources are destroyed, and food aid struggles to reach those in need. Access to food should not be a luxury.

Genuine tragedy: @carolecadwalla.bsky.social on the monstrous Israeli war on beautiful Lebanon www.thenerve.news/p/lebanon-wa...

Difficult to describe how unusual it is for @icrc.org to speak publicly like this. "Heavy explosive weapons with wide-area effects struck densely populated urban areas, including the capital Beirut, without effective advance warnings." ICRC Outraged by Deadly Strikes in Densely Populated Areas

In Ireland, the Easter Lily (Lile na Cásca) is a badge in the shape of a calla lily flower, worn during Easter by Irish republicans as a symbol of remembrance for Irish republican combatants who died during or were executed after the 1916 Easter Rising.

Trump's incoherence in the presser this morning was off the charts. Way, way off the charts. It is so completely unacceptable.

Today, people across Iran would normally be celebrating Nowruz, an ancient festival marking the arrival of spring. For now, uncertainty prevails. Many will share one hope for the New Year: that they & their loved ones might welcome it in safety. Read more: ms.spr.ly/63328QSM3G

Access to water, healthcare and electricity is essential for safeguarding human life, especially during armed conflicts. These are not luxuries; they are fundamental needs protected under IHL.

Killing or injuring healthcare workers, bombing hospitals, targeting ambulances, isn’t just a "war consequence"; it’s a collapse of humanity. Under international humanitarian law, patients and humanitarian workers are protected along with the hospitals they work in and the ambulances they rely on.

Wow.

It feels like it was 10 years ago that we thought the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico was a pretty wild event.

Congress better wake up before nobody notices it's gone.

Can someone explain how the present Labour government can be "replaced/expelled"? I don't know the UK specifics. Where I live the President can disolve parliament and call for new elections.

"It is beyond comprehension that the Senate confirmed this man to oversee America’s health."

International humanitarian law is clear: Civilians and civilian infrastructure providing essential services must be protected. Even wars have limits.

At the Munich Security Conference this weekend – long a barometer for global security priorities – climate change was largely absent. Recent global climate trends offer a warning. bit.ly/467M9Q7

For 160+ years, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement has brought hope and help in humanity’s hardest moments. Our emblems, more than symbols, stand for shields safeguarding humanitarian workers and affected communities 👇🏽

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.
