Civilians must be protected and respected, always.

Parties to conflicts are the only ones with enough power to enforce the rules of war, transform them into reality, and save lives.

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, volunteers, and affected communities.

They must be protected, always.

📍 Nigeria | In conflict-affected communities, Amina, trained by the Nigerian Red Cross Society, helps caregivers detect child malnutrition early.

Severe cases are referred for care, and moderate cases receive a nutrient-rich, locally made supplement, giving children a safer chance to recover.

When temperatures drop, warmth is no longer about comfort; it’s about survival.

In armed conflict zones, even a single degree can determine whether people cope or collapse.

Humanitarian aid must reach civilians wherever they are, especially those in need.
