Damascus, SANA- The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Syria affirmed its continued commitment to providing humanitarian support to those in need, and that its partnership with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) remains a fundamental pillar in responding to the growing needs over the past 14 years.

The Committee said that it, in cooperation with its partners in Syria, continued to work to meet urgent needs and support essential services and vital infrastructure, as part of early recovery efforts and the restoration of livelihoods, affirming that its neutral and impartial humanitarian work represents a lifeline for those affected people.

In a briefing on the occasion of World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day, the Committee praised the role of millions of volunteers and workers in the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement around the world, noting that any attack on humanitarian workers is a violation of international humanitarian law, where the committee paid tribute to the souls of humanitarian workers who died while performing their duty.
