Today is World Mental Health Day.
Real recovery starts with people.
💙 Listen to lived experiences.
💙 Trust communities to shape solutions.

For 61 years, the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement have guided us to deliver help where it’s needed most.
Three years on, families across Israel and Gaza continue to live with profound loss, displacement and uncertainty.
The need to protect civilians, uphold dignity and ensure humanitarian access remains as urgent as ever.
The Red Cross emblem is more than a symbol. It's a sign of protection. ❤️
Our latest survey found that nearly 9 in 10 people recognise the Red Cross emblem. But only 4 in 10 know it's also used to protect military medical services during armed conflict.
Protecting the emblem helps protect lives.
Did you know this? 👇

Did you know most people in Ireland are aware of the rules of war, but only a small number feel confident explaining them?
Our survey also found strong public support for more awareness and education on humanitarian law.
Join the conversation. How can we help people better understand the #RulesOfWar?

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, @YEMRedCrescent continues to provide lifesaving assistance, including emergency relief, first aid and support for displaced communities.
