International Committee of the Red Cross Cambodia

Happy International Nurses Day! Thank you to all the wonderful, hardworking nurses who take care of us and our loved ones all around the world. We appreciate you!

Today is World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day 🌍

We honor the volunteers and staff who turn compassion into action — helping, healing, and standing beside people when it matters most.

In a world shaped by differences, our shared humanity is what brings us together.

They are friends, family, and communities supporting one another.

Together, we are United in Humanity.

In the past year (2025), the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Regional Delegation in Bangkok has continued its humanitarian mission across seven countries:

🔴 Providing emergency assistance to people affected by conflict and violence
🔴 Strengthening cooperation with governments, civil society, and Red Cross/Red Crescent networks
🔴 Acting as a neutral intermediary in situations along the Cambodia–Thailand border, including visiting detainees and helping them stay in contact with their families

Throughout the year, the ICRC has also:
✔️ Supported rehabilitation services for thousands of people with disabilities in Cambodia
✔️ Covered medical treatment and physical rehabilitation costs for those affected by the situation in Myanmar who are in Thailand
✔️ Responded to emergencies such as flooding in Laos and supported vaccination efforts along border areas
✔️ Continued to build the capacity of staff and volunteers across the region

In addition, the ICRC has worked to promote understanding and respect for international humanitarian law through collaboration with security agencies, government bodies, and academic institutions

Today we mark the International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action — a moment to remember that the impact of war does not end when the fighting stops.

Landmines and explosive remnants of war remain hidden in fields, villages and roads long after conflicts end. For many communities, everyday activities like farming, walking to school, or collecting water can become life-threatening.

In 2024, 6,279 people were killed or injured by landmines and explosive remnants of war, and 90% of victims were civilians. Nearly half were children.

These numbers remind us that explosive hazards continue to affect families, communities and entire generations.

Preventing the use of these weapons, clearing contaminated land, and supporting affected communities are essential steps to protect civilians and build a safer future.

Join us to congratulate the team of students from Royal University of Law and Economics on receiving the Second Honorable Mention for Best Memorial (Defendant) at the 24th Red Cross International Humanitarian Law (IHL) Moot Competition (Asia-Pacific Round), held in Hong Kong.

This year’s competition brought together 22 teams from across the Asia-Pacific region. After four days of rigorous rounds, Handong International Law School (Republic of Korea) emerged as the champion, defeating Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (Japan) in the final round. The Best Mooter of the Final Round was awarded to Mr D**g Hyun Lee from Handong International Law School.

The team from the Royal University of Law and Economics demonstrated strong preparation and performance, particularly in legal research and written advocacy in the field of international humanitarian law.

We warmly commend the team for their hard work and commitment, and look forward to seeing their continued success in future international competitions.

Children are among the most vulnerable victims of landmines and explosive remnants of war.

In 2024, nearly half of civilian casualties were children (46%).

Curiosity, unfamiliar objects, and daily routines—walking to school, playing outside, collecting water—place them at risk.

Explosive hazards can cause devastating injuries, long-term disabilities, and psychological trauma that affects a child’s entire future.

Protecting children means preventing the use of these weapons and clearing contaminated land.

On 19 March 2026, the Cambodia Wheelchair Basketball Federation (CWBF), in collaboration with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), organized its second General Assembly at the Caravan Hotel in Phnom Penh.

The event was attended by around 70 participants from various sectors, including business, government ministries and institutions, as well as athletes with disabilities.

💜 Resilience is breaking barriers. 💜

"People with disabilities are capable of so much more. You don’t have to stay confined at home—push yourself, show the world what you can do." – An Sinet, the Cambodian women's wheelchair basketball team leader from Kampong Speu

Across Asia and the Pacific, women are proving that strength is not defined by limitations, but by the courage to rise and take action. This , we celebrate their determination to challenge stereotypes and build a future without limits. 💪✨

During the activity, the team also conducted household assessments to better understand the living conditions and specific needs of persons with disabilities, ensuring that the assistance is meaningful, inclusive, and responsive to their needs.
