Israel and the occupied territories
In Israel and occupied territories, the ICRC strives to bring about a difference in people's lives through its activities and programmes. We visit detainees, reunite families, support livelihood projects, and help improve access to the essential services, like water and electricity. Above all, we stand up for people and promote their rights and dignity.
We have been present in Israel and occupied territories since 1967 and work with the Palestine Red Crescent Society and the Magen David Adom Society. The ICRC has offices in Tel Aviv, West Bank and Gaza.
