In armed conflicts, access to food is often disrupted, leaving millions facing hunger. Crops, livestock, and water sources are destroyed, and food aid struggles to reach those in need. Access to food should not be a luxury.

Humanitarian aid is crucial for civilians fleeing conflicts. It can be a matter of life and death. Parties to conflicts must facilitate its rapid, unimpeded passage and delivery. Millions of people need humanitarian aid, without it, they won't even have the basics for survival.

The spread of harmful information can cause real-life harm on people & undermine humanitarian efforts. Joelle Rizk, ICRC Digital Risks Adviser, outlines four risks of harmful information in armed conflict & discusses our approach to mitigating its impact👉🏽ms.spr.ly/6016mpTCE
Harmful information can lead to serious consequences for people affected by armed conflict and/or violence. It can: 1. Harm people’s physical, psychological, economic, and social well-being. 2. Fuel hatred, violence, and conflict. 3. Undermine IHL and other legal frameworks. 4. Undermine trust, acceptance and safety of humanitarian workers.

As we just marked the 75th anniversary of the Geneva Conventions, we remind all parties to uphold their obligations under International Humanitarian Law. This means unequivocally protecting civilians, healthcare workers, and humanitarian facilities.

Protecting civilians during armed conflict is a cornerstone of international humanitarian law (IHL). But did you know that #IHL is based on humanitarian principles found in many cultures and religions? Making it a common heritage of humanity. #GC75

What happens when false or harmful narratives circulate during wars? What are the implications for those affected by armed conflict and for the humanitarians striving to assist them? Sharing harmful information has very real consequences on people’s lives.

Under the rules of war, parties to armed conflicts must respect and protect civilians. Here are four of those rules 👇
Rules of war state about civilians 1. Civilians cannot be targeted. 2. Civilians cannot be used as human shields. 3. Civilians must have safe passage to flee. 4. Humanitarian organizations must have access to deliver aid to civilians.

Even wars have limits. The rules of war protect people in armed conflict and set limits on how wars are fought.
What are the rules of war? Hospitals should not be targeted. Sick and wounded must be cared for. Sexual violence is prohibited. Detainees must be treated humanely. The dead should be cared for with dignity. Families must know the fate of missing relatives. International Committee of the Red Cross.
