With hospitals destroyed, supplies blocked, and critical infrastructure decimated, healthcare is in collapse.

Thank you for standing with our colleagues and for the human right to healthcare, even in conflict zones.

Your messages of hope and solidarity are on their way with the Australian Red Cross.
