We at the IFRC mourn the loss of four colleagues from Iranian Red Crescent. Our hearts go out to their families, loved ones, and every member of the Iranian Red Crescent. In the face of danger, they continue to serve with courage and humanity. We stand in solidarity with them and with humanitarian workers everywhere. Humanitarian workers are not a target. We urgently reiterate our call: Respect and protect humanitarian staff and volunteers.


Grateful to the Iranian Red Crescent and Magen David Adom teams for their life-saving humanitarian work under extremely difficult circumstances. We call on all parties involved to exercise the utmost restraint. The safety and protection of civilians must be ensured.

โBefore the earthquake, my days were filled with teaching, studying, managing teaching staff, and communicating with parents,โ Honey shares.

As #WorldMentalHealthAwarenessWeek ends, letโs remember: there is no health without mental health. Mental health is just as important as physical health. It's ok to seek help if you are struggling.


Imagine being born into war instead of safety. Fleeing torture instead of chasing dreams. Risking everything across dangerous seas. Where youโre born is pure chance โ but the right to safety shouldnโt be. ๐ Onboard the #OceanViking, we rescue people who are simply seeking what we all deserve: a life free from fear.
