Ukraine, Rocca (Cri): “Very complicated operation from a security point of view”

“The operation in Ukraine is undoubtedly very complicated not so much in logistical terms as in terms of security”. This was stated by Francesco Rocca, president of the Italian Red Cross and of Irfc, guest of ‘Adnkronos Live’. ” Unfortunately, we have had enormous difficulties in accessing the humanitarian corridors in Ukraine. It is not the first time that this has happened, it is the first time that there is such strong attention from the media but it is something that happens more frequently in modern wars and one of the aspects that most worries us looking at the principle of civilization that it is represented by the Geneva Conventions to which the Red Cross is a party, that is, assistance to civilians and victims. Once there was the possibility of having access, according to the rule that ‘you do not shoot on the Red Cross’ and the victims were brought to safety or aid was brought ”, he stresses to ‘Adnkronos Live’. ” There are hubs within Ukraine and then we have created collection points on the border with Romania, as the Italian Red Cross together with the Romanian Red Cross, so that aid can enter daily in an orderly manner and that no further pressure is created on Ukrainian colleagues at such a busy time. Everything is done to ease the pressure and make sure that the Ukrainian Red Cross can dedicate itself as much as possible to the people and not to divide the packages ”, explained Rocca.
