Sexual violence is a key feature of the armed conflict taking place in Sudan.

We recently met some survivors who are taking refuge in Chad. Their testimonies speak to the violence they endured. We stand in solidarity with them, and with all those affected by these atrocities 👇🏽

📍Iran | We have recently delivered more than 18 tonnes of humanitarian supplies to the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) to strengthen emergency response capacities following recent hostilities.

The shipment includes medical supplies for first-aid disaster response and personal protective equipment for first responders. It will support rescue and relief operations while helping replenish emergency stocks used during hostilities.

This delivery reflects the long-standing partnership between the ICRC and the IRCS and a shared commitment to ensuring that humanitarian assistance reaches people affected by conflict and emergencies. Additional support is planned in the coming months.

Sexual violence is widespread in armed conflicts, but it is not inevitable. As needs grow, services shrink, and survivors face fear, stigma, and silence.

We work to prevent violence, reduce stigma, and support safe access to care.

As we mark the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, we remind parties to conflicts that this crime is always forbidden.

Today, we participated in the repatriation of human remains of fallen soldiers between Russia and Ukraine, as agreed by the parties to the conflict.

In northern Hassakeh, Syria, farmers are facing challenges linked to water shortages, electricity cuts, and rising farming costs.

A single moment. A lifetime of consequences. Sexual violence in armed conflict keeps rising, affecting millions.

The harm not only impacts victims/survivors but also their families and communities over multiple generations.

When AI is used in warfare, incomplete, biased, or inaccurate data can turn into life-and-death decisions.

International humanitarian law sets strict limits on the use of force. Any use of AI in armed conflict must comply with its key principles and rules, including distinction, proportionality, and precaution.
