People on the move face different challenges in countries of origin, transit and destination.
The IFRC’s Migration and Displacement Platform brings together the strength of 191 National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to build resilience, strengthen protection and advance long-term solutions that uphold people’s dignity.
In this video, part of a series on migration, I explain how the platform supports a coordinated, locally led response across every stage of the migration journey.

This IFRC-DREF allocation was made to support the Ethiopian Red Cross Society in reaching 50,000 people affected by the severe drought experienced across the country.
This response provides lifesaving assistance in the form of cash, health care, safe water and sanitation to families experiencing critical levels of food insecurity.
Thank you to all IFRC-DREF donors!

As we mark the #FundamentalPrinciples Week, I reflect on the principle that inspires me most: #Humanity.
For me, Humanity is rooted in Ubuntu: “I am because we are.” When we lift each other up, we build stronger, more resilient communities where everyone belongs.

Then and now: the same Red Cross Red Crescent, the same commitment.
61 years on, the Fundamental Principles are still the difference between life and death for millions.

What #FundamentalPrinciple inspires you most? For Nancy, it's #Universality.
"Wherever we are, we are united by one purpose: humanity."
Because beyond borders, cultures & crises, our shared commitment to #humanity connects us all and drives us to support those who need us most.

Neutrality is what allows us to work alongside everyone and reach everyone. For Jesper Fridolf, Swedish Red Cross Country Representative in Mozambique, it means staying focused on humanitarian needs and earning community trust, so we can reach the people who need us most.

Quel principe fondamental vous inspire le plus ?
Pour Barnabe Looma, engagé dans les Enterrements Dignes et Sécurisés au cœur de la riposte à #Ebola en #RDC, la réponse est claire : l’Humanité.
Protéger les vivants contre la maladie, tout en respectant la dignité des personnes décédées et en accompagnant les familles avec compassion dans l’un des moments les plus difficiles de leur vie.
Parce que même au cœur d’une urgence sanitaire, notre action commence toujours par l’humain.

Across borders. Across crises. Across decades.
The Fundamental Principles have guided our humanitarian action wherever help is needed most.
We asked a few colleagues which Principles resonate most with their work👇🏾

The new supplies will replenish the stocks of the @LibyaRC Ghat Branch and help teams continue delivering assistance to affected communities and responding to their humanitarian needs.

This #FundamentalPrinciplesWeek, I am sharing what our principles mean to the people who live them every day.For Benard Muradya, our Senior PMER Officer for @IFRC Maputo delegation, humanity is in every task, big or small, that helps reduce suffering in the communities we serve.

Impartiality is simple, and that's what makes it powerful.
For Sheila Nhandime, Administration Officer at our Maputo delegation, it means treating everyone equally, without choosing sides. It's how we keep the trust of every community we serve.
