Geneva/New York, 24 October 2020 – The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement welcomes the coming into force of the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). Fifty States have now ratified the Treaty, meaning that it will enter into force as an instrument of international humanitarian law in 90 days. The IFRC has warned people not to take their foot off the brake as hospital intensive care units in many cities across Europe near capacity.

At least 178,000 homes have been submerged in floodwaters that have also destroyed food crops. Close to 690,000 poultry and livestock have been killed or swept Geneva, 15 October – The Secretary General of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) has returned from Sudan, where unprecedented flooding has killed more than 100 people and left over 875,000 people in need of humanitarian assistance – about half of whom are children. On his first overseas mission since taking The outbreak of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus identified in late 2019, was declared a public health emergency of international concern by WHO on 30 January. IFRC is coordinating with all National Societies especially those with active cases – to support with monitoring, issuing advisories, supporting the pre-positioning of personal protective equipment for high-risk activities, The Annual Report provides details of IFRC’s support to our 190 member National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in 2018, alongside consolidated financial statements for the year. It tells the story of the Red Cross and Red Crescent response to major emergencies across the globe – from earthquakes and a tsunami in Indonesia to a deadly Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In recent years, Governments and aid organisations have made various commitments about ensuring that the world’s most vulnerable people are not “left behind”. But those commitments are not being reached. We estimate in the 2018 World Disasters Report that millions of people living in crisis are not receiving the humanitarian assistance they desperately need. We have around 14 million volunteers in communities around the world. Become part of the Movement.
