„The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) has said it is "outraged" at the deaths of eight medics killed on duty in Rafah in southern Gaza.

The nine-person ambulance team came under heavy fire in al-Hashashin on 23 March, said the IFRC. Their bodies were retrieved on Sunday after access was denied for a week. One medic is still missing.“

🛟 Heute Morgen rettete das Team der #OceanViking nach einem Notruf von #AlarmPhone 25 Menschen aus Seenot. Sie werden nun an Bord von den Teams von #ifrc und @sosmed versorgt und betreut.

Die ital. Behörden wiesen #MarinaDiCarrara als sicheren Hafen zu – 1.222km entfernt. Dadurch fehlt lebenswichtige Rettungskapazität im zentralen #Med

Seit Inkrafttreten des #Piantedosi-Dekrets musste die #OceanViking bereits 63.381km zurücklegen, um weit entfernte Häfen zu erreichen.

Welche medizinischen und gesundheitlichen Herausforderungen gibt es für Menschen, die aus Seenot gerettet werden?

Das neue Dossier von #SOSMediterranee in Zusammenarbeit mit dem #ifrc, “Mit Menschlichkeit behandeln”, gibt einen tiefen Einblick in die Herausforderungen und die Arbeit des medizinischen Teams an Bord der #OceanViking.

Gestern Nachmittag konnten die 111 Überlebenden der letzten Rettungseinsätze der #OceanViking endlich in #Ancona sicher an Land gehen.

Dieser Rettungseinsatz hat bedauerlicherweise einen bitteren Beigeschmack:‍ Der Tod des 7-jährigen Mädchens und die Tatsache, dass ihr Vater ohne seine Familie weiter reisen musste, erschüttert uns zu tiefst.

#Ucraina: uccisi 3 operatori #CICR nel #Donetsk - RSI

Il presidente ucraino Volodymyr #Zelensky ha attribuito il bombardamento all’esercito russo e ha deplorato “un nuovo #crimine di #guerra” che richiede una “risposta dura”.

Tra le reazioni, il segretario generale della Federazione Internazionale della Croce Rossa e della Mezzaluna Rossa (#IFRC) Jagan #Chapagain si è detto “molto triste” per questo attacco “devastante”.

The international Red Cross movement is under pressure to take action against the Russian Red Cross (RRC) over close links between the group and the Kremlin’s war and propaganda machine.

There is also photographic evidence of RRC staff in branded Red Cross vests at military training events for Russian youth, where children as young as eight are taught how to use guns.

Joint Statement…#IFRC &…#ICRC... “Nothing can justify the horrific loss of civilian lives in #Israel last weekend. Our hearts go out to people who lost family members or are anxiously awaiting news about their missing loved ones, which they should receive without delay. But such tragedy cannot in turn justify…limitless destruction of #Gaza.
We are deeply alarmed by the call for relocation in Gaza… Civilian life must be protected on all sides.“ See full statement: icrc.org/en/document/joint-sta #IHL

The BMJCholera is back but the world is looking awayTo overcome this preventable disease we need to invest in failing infrastructure and tackle humanitarian crises at cholera’s roots, says Petra Khoury Once thought to be close to eradication, cholera is back—dehydrating and killing people within hours and ravaging communities across six continents. Despite the alarming numbers of cases and deaths over the past year, decision makers are averting their eyes, leaving people to die from a preventable and treatable disease. The healthcare community should sound the alarm for immediate actions. A strong and global emergency response is urgently needed, but it is only a first step. More than ever the world must invest in water and sanitation systems and prepare communities before outbreaks occur. Over the past 200 years, there have been seven cholera pandemics, and today’s surge is the largest in a decade. In 2022, 30 countries reported cholera outbreaks, including places that had been free of the disease for decades. In Haiti, where millions of people have been displaced by violence, cholera has killed hundreds of people in just a few months.1 Lebanon is experiencing its first outbreak since 1993, with more than 6000 recorded cases.2 After devastating floods, Nigeria had a major cholera outbreak.3 In Malawi, the worst outbreak in decades has left 620 people dead since March.4 Schools are now closed in an attempt to stop the surge of infections. The risk of cholera transmission multiplies when people …
