President Aoun: Duty to Protect Rescuers

The President of Lebanon, Joseph Aoun, emphasized that international humanitarian law requires all parties to the conflict, including Israel, to protect rescue workers, medical personnel, and humanitarian workers, ensuring their safe access to those in need and respecting the symbols of the Red Cross and Red Crescent. He called for adherence to the rules of war that prohibit making rescue workers a target, highlighting the vital role played by responders and volunteers in delivering humanitarian aid amidst war and crisis conditions—particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Beirut port explosion, and the current conflict. Aoun underscored the importance of safeguarding the mission of the Red Cross, supporting its capabilities, and preserving the culture of volunteering as part of civic responsibility. He also pointed to the Lebanese Red Cross as a trusted model committed to serving citizens efficiently and without discrimination.
