Bhaktapur, Nepal: All images from the devastated city of Bhaktapur in Nepal. Following the April 25th 7.9 M earthquake that struck central Nepal, thousands of people have been living outdoors, fearful of returning to their homes. The Nepal Red Cross has been distributing tarpaulins across Kathmandu to provide families with emergency shelter.

De nombreuses personnes empruntent des embarcations comme celles-ci pour se lancer dans un dangereux périple sur l’océan afin de gagner l’Europe.

Calmer seas over the past week have seen an increase in the number of people risking the treacherous journey across the Mediterranean to seek safety in Europe.
The life-saving missions of the Phoenix and Responder are a partnership between the Italian Red Cross, with support from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), and Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS), an independent charity.
On the Responder, IFRC aid workers from Italy, Switzerland and New Zealand provide post-rescue support including first aid, medical care, food, water, dry clothes and blankets. On the Phoenix, post-rescue care is carried out by Italian Red Cross volunteers and staff.
One challenge for many people in Mexico is a lack of regular health screenings that might indicate early warning signs of diabetes or hypertension. For this reason, volunteers visit schools where test results could offer a concrete incentive for young people to change their habits before illness sets in. Photo: Nadia Shira Cohen/IFRC
