Grateful to Newzroom Afrika and Michelle Craig for the opportunity to share stories of the plight of the Sudanese population. Before the conflict broke out, the country was already home to some 3 million people who had been displaced by armed conflict.

The impact of the Sudanese conflict has led to severe shortages of essentials such as food, water, medicine, and fuel. The world needs to take note of the struggles faced by the Sudanese population and their increasing needs as the conflict continues. ICRC Sudan #Sudan

Since the outbreak of conflict in Sudan, more than 8.5m people have been displaced, resulting in the loss of livelihoods. Some of these unfortunate circumstances are as a result of violation of #IHL, a body of legal principles that protects civilians & those no longer fighting.

Nelson Mandela, a great visionary, authentic, exemplary and servant leader gifted with great thoughts having a global, generational and lasting impact, recognised the crucial role of the #ICRC. As a leader, please continue to support #ICRC's mission to help humanity in distress.

Grateful to Channel Africa for the opportunity to share stories of the plight of the Sudanese population. Before the conflict broke out, the country was already home to some 3 million people who had been displaced by armed conflicts from elsewhere. omny.fm/shows/africa-r…

Zimbabwe Red Cross is guided by the core principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. At the heart of our mission lies our emblem—a powerful symbol of hope, protection, and humanity.

The #GC75 are part of international humanitarian law, calling on all parties to respect the rules of war. Over 100 conflicts are causing devastating human suffering, loss of lives & livelihoods, long-term psychological impact, displacements, starvation worldwide. This must stop!

August 12 is significant for the Red Cross Movement as it marks the commemoration of the #GC75 adopted in 1949. These were created & signed by nations to uphold humanity even during wartime, emphasizing the importance of respecting human dignity, compassion, & empathy

#GC75 Did you know the Geneva Conventions are one of the few conventions signed by all countries in the world? Since 1949, the #GCs have safeguarded human dignity in the darkest times. State and non-state armed groups must adhere to these rules to continue saving lives

Humanitarian workers often risk their lives to bring life-saving aid to those in need. They are our lifeline in times of crisis. On today’s #WorldHumanitarianDay, we call for respect, protection, and safe access to aid for civilians. #ActForHumanity #NotATarget

On World Humanitarian Day, we honor the brave humanitarian workers who risk their lives to save lives and minimize harm. We call on all parties in armed conflicts to respect international humanitarian law (#IHL) and #ActforHumanity. Humanitarian workers are not a target.

The world commemorates Humanitarian Day, but millions are enduring violence & starvation from armed conflicts. Africa is not exempt from such devastations, which claim lives of aid workers. If only IHL could be respected, many lives would be saved, & unnecessary suffering avoided

Protracted armed conflicts in Africa have led to the disappearance of thousands of people and natural disasters worsened by climate change place vulnerable people at risk of separation and disappearance during difficult migratory journeys.

Behind every missing person there is a family who is desperate for answers. The lives of those families are put on hold while they wait – sometimes for decades– for news of what happened to their loved ones. WATCH rb.gy/qog5ed
