We continue to mourn Ibrahim Eid & Ahmad Abu Hila - two dedicated, inspiring colleagues, whose senseless killing further illustrates the intolerable civilian death toll in Gaza.
We hold them tightly in our hearts & think of their families, friends & phenomenal team.

"No state, no party to a conflict can be exempt from the obligation not to commit war crimes," - ICRC President, Mirjana Spoljaric.
The rules of war exist to temper the impact of conflict on civilians. Without them there is no limit to human suffering.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

People we spoke with in northern Gaza describe life after the destruction as a relentless cycle of uncertainty and loss.
We are intensifying our efforts to meet people's urgent needs, but much more remains to be done.

📍 Gaza | Hospitals are a lifeline for those wounded or sick in conflict. We remain committed to supporting healthcare services wherever possible, which includes doing what we can to ensure the protection of the medical responders and civilian access to health care.
