Thousands have died or been injured in Ukraine. Millions have had to flee their homes. The needs are still vast all over the country. And we will continue to support the most affected and vulnerable people.

❗️👨👩👧👦 These days our teams in Moscow and Minsk are participating in another transfer operation to reunite Ukrainian children with their relatives in Ukraine. We do it together with authorities of Russia, Ukraine and Qatar. 
I was pleased to see @PalestineRCS President Dr Younis Al-Khatib and his team today in the West Bank. PRCS volunteers have shown enormous courage and dedication to aid people in Gaza. They have @ICRC’s ongoing and firm support.
- Today in the West Bank I am meeting with the leadership of the @PalestineRCS and with the Ministry of Health. I will also see the Committee of Detainee Affairs – to listen and share with them @ICRC’s persistent efforts to regain humanitarian access to places of detention.
- After visiting Gaza I am in Israel for ongoing discussions with authorities. I’m meeting families of hostages: @ICRC must be granted permission, with practical details agreed between the parties, for visits to take place. I reiterate: hostages must be released - immediately.
- A pleasure to sign a Headquarters agreement with Brazil today. I look forward to our enhanced dialogue and cooperation on humanitarian issues.A Secretária-Geral, Embaixadora Maria Laura da Rocha, e a Presidenta do Comitê Internacional da Cruz Vermelha, Mirjana Spoljaric, assinaram acordo de sede e #cooperação entre 🇧🇷 e CICV, no contexto de fortalecimento de diálogo e parceria entre 🇧🇷 e o Comitê. @ICRCPresident

Today, as a neutral intermediary, we facilitated the release of 94 detainee members of SAF, reuniting them with their families in Zaleingei, #Darfur. We don't negotiate or influence the decision on who is released and when. This decision is taken by the parties to the conflict.
- I have arrived in Gaza, where people’s suffering is intolerable. I repeat our urgent call for civilians to be protected in line with the laws of war and for aid to enter unimpeded. The hostages must be released and @ICRC allowed to safely visit them.
- .@ICRC mourns the loss of our colleague Abdellatif Ali Moussa who was killed in Gaza along with several family members. The toll of this conflict on frontline workers is unacceptable. Humanitarian workers and civilians are not part of the fight. They must be protected.We are devastated by the killing of our valued colleague Abdellatif Ali Moussa, along with several of his family, in northern #Gaza. Abdellatif worked as a driver for the ICRC for some 20 years. We extend our profound condolences to Abdellatif's family, friends & colleagues.
