Even in challenging circumstances, water must keep flowing. 💧 The ICRC partnered with the South Lebanon Water Establishment to strengthen water services through SCADA technology, enabling remote monitoring and control to help maintain supply when teams cannot reach stations.

When conflict leaves dangers behind, awareness saves lives. ❤️🎈 The ICRC & @ClownMeIn are bringing fun, interactive safety messages to communities across Lebanon, helping children and adults stay safe around landmines and UXO, so every child can discover and play without fear.

Under the rules of war, parties to conflicts cannot use starvation of civilians as a method of warfare. This includes depriving them of food, water, or other essentials needed to survive, even if it does not lead to death but causes suffering. Download our briefing paper for free: ms.spr.ly/6015aSLWS
Does international humanitarian law (IHL) prohibit the use of starvation of civilians as a method of warfare? Yes, IHL prohibits the use of starvation of civilians as a method of warfare. Starvation in this context means deprivation of food, water or other things necessary for survival. The deprivation doesn\u2019t need to be so severe as to cause death; it is enough that it would cause suffering. Using starvation as a method of warfare means provoking it deliberately. A prominent example is deprivation of food and water during sieges.

Trauma can change how people experience everyday life, turning familiar sounds into reminders of danger and moments of safety into feelings of uncertainty. Mental health support can help people deal/cope with traumatic experiences and begin to rebuild a sense of safety in their lives.

When life changes overnight, we may lose the places and people that made us feel at home. We can’t always stop the storm, but we can hold on to the little things that ground us: a familiar ritual, a shared moment, a reason to keep going.

Yesterday I visited Tebnine Hospital, the only remaining hospital in South Lebanon. I met dedicated staff working under immense pressure. With @eu_echo funding, @ICRC_lb provides vital support. Healthcare facilities and medical staff must be protected at all times, in line with International Humanitarian Law.

In armed conflicts, no matter when, no matter who says the opposite: civilians must be protected and respected. Without excuses. Under international humanitarian law, every party to a conflict must follow this essential rule. Even wars have limits. #IHL

Killing or injuring healthcare workers, bombing hospitals, and targeting ambulances aren't just "war consequences." They are a collapse of humanity. Under international humanitarian law, patients and humanitarian workers are protected along with the hospitals they work in and the ambulances they rely on.
Healthcare workers, patients, hospitals, and ambulances must be protected and respected.

For people living through conflict, reaching health care can be challenging. Together with the Ministry of Social Affairs @mosalebofficial, the ICRC brings consultations, medicines and essential health care closer to affected communities, when access is hardest.

International humanitarian law (IHL) prohibits ordering civilians to leave their homes, with narrow exceptions for their safety or military necessity. When civilians are displaced for any reason, IHL requires the party to do everything possible to ensure that they are received under satisfactory conditions of shelter, hygiene, health, safety and nutrition and that members of the same family are not separated.

🎒 Students are civilians. ✏️ Teachers are too. 🏫 Schools are civilian buildings. All of them are protected by the rules of war.
Students, teachers and schools should always be protected in armed conflict.

In uncertain times, knowing that essential health care remains available can bring reassurance. By supporting Machghara Governmental Hospital and its staff, the ICRC helps them continue caring for their community through difficult and volatile times.
