Philippines: Fulfilling our humanitarian mission in 2022
As the world eased into the new normal in 2022, we carried out more humanitarian activities in the Philippines to support those in need of aid.
Long-running armed conflicts in the Philippines leave a heavy toll on communities that are already facing high levels of poverty. While clashes are sporadic, they nevertheless burden families whose livelihoods are disrupted. Humanitarian concerns around the protection of civilians and respect for international humanitarian law (IHL) by parties to the armed conflict also remain. Meanwhile, those who are looking for loved ones who disappeared in the 2017 Marawi conflict still hope to get answers.
The ICRC is an impartial, neutral and independent organization whose humanitarian mission is to protect the lives and dignity of people affected by armed conflict and to provide them with assistance.
