桂林通报8元团费事件 将对桂林华仕国际旅行社和导游从重处理

In 2024, the ICRC navigated a complex and challenging operating environment to deliver humanitarian aid to millions of people in over 100 countries.

Around 130 armed conflicts were being fought around the world – a figure that has more than doubled in the last 15 years. As people faced multiple and overlapping crises, humanitarian needs in areas affected by armed conflict and other situations of violence continued to rise. The lack of compliance with international humanitarian law (IHL) exacted an unacceptable human cost. Many conflicts have persisted for decades, trapping generations of people in cycles of violence and trauma. Escalations in fighting further added to people’s suffering.

The alarming rise in humanitarian needs remained a stark reminder of the relevance of our mandate and mission – rooted in IHL – and our neutral, impartial and independent approach to humanitarian action. We worked tirelessly to reach vulnerable communities, speak with parties on all sides to protect civilians, and promote IHL as a global common good.
 

In 2024, we had 17,990 staff members working in 96 delegations and missions covering over 100 countries around the world.

Much of our work was made possible with the support of our partners and donors, who contributed over 2.04 billion Swiss francs for our operations, of which 1.78 billion Swiss francs for field operations and 262.3 million Swiss francs for headquarters; 39% of this was flexible funding, allowing us to respond when and where we were needed most.
