We are devastated at the tragic loss of two Red Cross and Red Crescent volunteers – Um Salama Mohammed Abdullah from the Sudanese Red Crescent and Youssef Assaf from the Lebanese Red Cross. Both were killed while carrying out their humanitarian duties.

Their deaths are a stark reminder that international humanitarian law is not optional. It is a legal and moral obligation that must be upheld and respected at all times.

No one should have to risk their life to save another.

To uphold trust, the Movement must remain impartial, avoiding political, racial, religious, or ideological disputes. Neutrality must be evident in both words and actions, ensuring credibility in peacetime and enabling effective response in conflicts or crises.

Whether you are Type A, B, AB, or O, you have a life-saving gift running through your veins. Every blood type plays a critical role in our healthcare system—from Type O Negative, our universal "emergency" hero, to Type AB, the universal plasma donor. Rare or common, your specific blood type is exactly what a patient in a hospital bed is waiting for right now.

Don’t wait for a crisis to find out how much your blood type matters. Be the reason someone gets a second chance at life. Be a RC143 blood donor!

Let’s save lives together!

Protektado sa ilalim ng international humanitarian law (IHL) ang mga civilian objects tuwing may giyera.

Kabilang dito ang mga:
✅ pampublikong imprastraktura,
✅ mga pagmamay-ari ng mga sibilyan, at
✅ mga bagay na kinakailangan para sa pamumuhay ng mga sibilyan.

Ibig sabihin nito, bawal ❌ silang targetin, sirain, o nakawan.

Ang paggamit ng civilian objects bilang panangga (shield) ng military objectives (halimbawa, mga sundalo) mula sa kalaban, o para magkaroon ng military advantage, ay ipinagbabawal din.

Kung tatalima ang mga partido ng labanan sa IHL, maaari nating maprotektahan ang mga sibilyan sa kabila ng kaguluhan.
