The DRC Red Cross @croix_rouge_rdc, @UgandaRedCross, @IFRC and @ICRC are deeply concerned about the attacks on Red Cross volunteers and staff in several incidents over the past few days.
One hundred days after the official declaration of the Ebola outbreak, 12 volunteers have been injured, ambulances have been damaged (including one that was set on fire) and emergency response equipment has been destroyed during 11 violent incidents.
Attacks against volunteers and humanitarian personnel are unacceptable.

Emergencies often make the headlines. But some of the most important humanitarian work happens every day, within communities.
In Greater Cairo, @EG_Red_Crescent staff and volunteers are creating safe spaces where children can learn, develop new skills and receive health and wellbeing support.
The @IFRC supports the Egyptian Red Crescent to strengthen and expand its locally led humanitarian work, helping communities become stronger and more resilient.
Because humanitarian action isn’t only about responding to emergencies, it’s also about building hope and opportunities for the future. ❤️

Already in the first half of 2026, 21 more members of the IFRC network have died in line of duty. That is more than we had lost by this point last year. Every one of those deaths is unacceptable.
Each statistic is a quiet echo of a life lived - A colleague. A friend. A son or daughter. A mother or father. A member of a community.
Humanitarians must be protected. #ProtectHumanity

Local humanitarians make our impact possible. Yet they also bear the overwhelming brunt of violence and loss.

RT by @ifrc: نحن هنا. من أجل الناس في الأزمات. ومن أجل المجتمعات. ومن أجل الإنسانية. عمل محلي. في كل مكان.
في #اليوم_العالمي_للعمل_الإنساني، نُكرّم الأشخاص الذين يلبّون النداء كل يوم، أينما كانت الحاجة إليهم أشدّ.
في أوقات الأزمات وعدم اليقين، يكون العاملون والعاملات في المجال الإنساني حاضرين، يدعمون المجتمعات، وينقذون الأرواح، ويقفون إلى جانب الأشخاص الذين يواجهون تحديات لا يمكن تصورها. ومع ذلك، غالباً ما يكون أولئك الذين يهبّون لمساعدة الآخرين هم أنفسهم من يواجهون أكبر المخاطر.
تتزايد الهجمات على العاملين والعاملات في المجال الإنساني، مخلفةً عواقب مدمّرة لا تطال العاملين والمتطوعين فحسب، بل تمتد أيضاً إلى المجتمعات التي تعتمد عليهم.
يواصل العاملون والعاملات في المجال الإنساني التواجد من أجلنا. إنهم جزء من المجتمعات التي يخدمونها، ويقدّمون المساعدة لجيرانهم وأصدقائهم وعائلاتهم عندما تنشب الأزمات. إنه عمل محلي. في كل مكان.
لقد حان الوقت لأن يكون العالم إلى جانبهم.

Pinned: We are here. For people in crisis. For communities. For humanity. We are Local, Everywhere.
Today, on #WorldHumanitarianDay, we honour the people who show up, every day, wherever they are needed most.
In times of crisis and uncertainty, humanitarians are here, supporting communities, saving lives, and standing alongside those facing unimaginable challenges. Yet far too often, those helping others are the ones facing the greatest risks.
Attacks on humanitarian personnel are rising, with devastating consequences not only for aid workers and volunteers, but also for the communities that rely on them.
Humanitarians keep showing up for us. They are Local, Everywhere, part of the communities they serve, helping their neighbours, friends and families when crises strike.
It's time the world showed up for them.

Trust remains as critical as any medical intervention.
Three months into the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, @croix_rouge_rdc volunteers remain at the heart of the response, tackling rumours and misinformation and carrying out safe and dignified burials.
As members of the communities they serve, they are helping open doors, build trust and connect people with lifesaving information and support.
