Annual Report 2025: Explore how we support those most in need

In 2025, the Irish Red Cross supported communities in Ireland and delivered life-saving relief and recovery programmes across Ukraine, the occupied Palestinian territory, Türkiye, Nepal, Myanmar, Sudan and beyond.

As Ireland’s humanitarian response network, we help communities prepare for crises, respond when they happen, and recover stronger afterwards.

None of this would be possible without the generosity of the Irish public and the support of our partners and funders. ❤️

Yemen is facing one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises. Years of conflict have left millions of people in need, while renewed violence has displaced nearly 100,000 people in recent weeks. Families are left without safety, shelter and essential support.

In spite of the immense challenges, the الهلال الأحمر اليمني Yemen Red Crescent Society continues to provide lifesaving assistance, including emergency relief, first aid and support for displaced communities.

Humanity comes first, even in war.

Our latest Irish Red Cross survey shows strong public support for protecting civilians and reducing human suffering during conflict.

These findings show that people in Ireland believe humanity must remain at the heart of conflict, no matter the circumstances.

Do the rules of war still matter? People in Ireland say they do.

A new Irish Red Cross survey shows that nearly 9 in 10 people believe those responsible for serious violations of the rules of war should be held accountable. Over 80% also believe Ireland has a duty to promote and defend these rules internationally.

Even in times of conflict, humanity matters. The rules of war exist to protect civilians, the wounded, healthcare workers, and essential services.

Championing International Humanitarian Law at the European Union and Beyond

Today the Irish Red Cross brought together policymakers, academics, humanitarian experts and civil society leaders to discuss how Ireland can play a leading role in championing International Humanitarian Law (IHL) during its Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

The conference explored the challenges facing respect for the rules of war in an increasingly complex global environment and highlighted the opportunity for Ireland to help keep respect for IHL at the centre of EU policy discussions.

The event also marked the launch of our new report, Voices for Humanity in Conflict, which sheds light on public understanding of the rules of war and attitudes in Ireland towards the role of Ireland and the EU in promoting respect for International Humanitarian Law.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to these timely and important conversations. Together, we can help ensure that humanity remains at the heart of conflict response.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Rolf Zimmermann from the Deutsches Rotes Kreuz.

Over the past decade, Rolf worked closely with the Irish Red Cross, particularly through the International Peace Camp, where his commitment to young people, humanitarian values and international cooperation left a lasting impact. Rolf passion, warmth and dedication inspired colleagues, volunteers and young people across borders.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues at the German Red Cross at this difficult time. We are grateful for the opportunity to have worked alongside him and will remember his contribution with great appreciation.
