The President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Mirjana Spoljaric, is currently in the midst of an important visit to the region, which includes stops in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank. Spoljaric’s visit is part of the ICRC’s ongoing efforts to assess the humanitarian situation and provide support to those affected by the ongoing conflict.

Throughout her trip, which is expected to conclude on Thursday, Spoljaric has been engaging with local authorities, humanitarian organizations, and individuals on the ground. Her mission aims to better understand the needs of the population and to advocate for greater access to humanitarian aid, as well as to push for the protection of civilians in conflict zones.

The ICRC’s work in the region is vital, particularly given the increasing violence and humanitarian challenges in Gaza and the West Bank. As president of the organization, Spoljaric is focused on ensuring that international humanitarian law is upheld and that all parties involved in the conflict respect the rights and dignity of those caught in the crossfire.

This visit highlights the ICRC’s commitment to its humanitarian mandate and its determination to address the ongoing suffering caused by the conflict in the region.
