It appears that the German Red Cross not only has an account in the Fediverse, they have an *instance*!
Really wish the American Red Cross would do that. (And that the Germans would be a little more active.)
Are there any others here? Please introduce yourselves!

Ramallah/Beirut/Geneva, 4 February 2026: The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is outraged by the killing of Hussein Hassan Hussein Al-Samiri, a dedicated paramedic with the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS). Hussein was killed while performing life-saving humanitarian duties in Khan Younis during an attack in the Al-Mawasi area, on 4 February 2026. The IFRC sends its deepest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues and expresses its full solidarity with PRCS.
🗨️ It is time for the #ICRC to demand legal prosecution of the Israeli attackers on all available int'l websites – settling for profane IHL statements is useless

📢 The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies #IFRC on Wednesday said it is “outraged” by the killing of a Palestinian #paramedic during a #humanitarian mission in S- #gaza, calling the death a violation of protections for medical and aid workers
