With the escalation of violence in Israel, and the occupied Palestinian territory of Gaza and West Bank, including East Jerusalem, there has been a proliferation of dehumanizing language and of false and misleading information about the ICRC and our work in the current conflict. In the face of these real-world consequences, for both people and humanitarian actors, we want to clearly address the main harmful narratives against the ICRC and our staff.  Share Share on X Share on LinkedIn Share on Facebook Disinformation and misinformation campaigns put those who need help, and those trying to help them, at direct risk. We urge all actors of influence not to resort to or endorse such practices, and to promote an information environment where the dignity and safety of people, humanitarian action and international humanitarian law are respected.
