I lost my parents on Oct7, 2023, and @AlnaouqA lost 21 family members in an Israeli bombing. Despite it all, we are working to end this war and to achieve security and sustainable peace. As Ahmed says, ''We are all brothers and sisters, in humanity.''

Telegram has become a global sewer of criminal activity, disinformation, child sexual abuse material, terrorism and racist incitement, according to a four-month investigation by The New York Times that analyzed more than 3.2 million messages on the app. nyti.ms/3zm5NdQ

We unreservedly condemn the attack that killed three of our colleagues in Ukraine today and injured another two @ICRC staff members.
We are outraged and our hearts go out to their families and to our team in Ukraine.
Three of our staff members in Ukraine were killed today after shelling hit the site of a planned frontline aid distribution in the Donetsk region & two more colleagues were wounded.
Our hearts are broken as we mourn this loss & care for the injured.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The missing context here that it was a Russian strike which killed those people.

Respect for #IHL must be at the heart of all our efforts to limit the devastating effects of war.
This is what I repeated on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the #GenevaConventions today in Geneva.

“We are not resolving conflicts, we are not using dialogue where we had committed to use dialogue. The founders of the UN, the words of the UN Charter ‘to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war’ – we are failing them”
