ICRC - Towards a solution

  • Anthony Holland Parkin
Attacks on healthcare workers and facilities have become a common feature of violent conflict throughout the world. From Syria to Somalia, there is a dangerous lack of respect for the neutrality of these institutions and personnel: hospitals are shelled; ambulances are fired upon; the wounded languish for hours in checkpoint queues. To raise awareness of this crucial yet overlooked humanitarian crisis, the International Committee of the Red Cross teamed up with Getty Images Reportage under my creative direction to create their “Health Care in Danger” campaign, which urges people to respect healthcare and healthcare workers in wars.

To imbue the campaign with a sense of reality equal to the tragedy, we enlisted Reportage photographer Tom Stoddart, who drew on his experience of working in conflict zones.
