ICRC language tests: What to expect

Order: Reorder
Duration: 5:18
Updated: 11 Sep 2013

In this film we explain the language level we look for in candidates applying to work with the ICRC. We describe the format of our tests and how to prepare for them - and what to do if you're not successful first time. Working for the International Committee of the Red Cross is all about people, and working with people means communication. ICRC international staff generally need to know how to communicate in more than one language, regardless of the position they apply for.

ICRC Tents Destroyed in Khirbet Makhoul/ Jordan Valley

Order: Reorder

Updated: 20 Sep 2013

On September 18, 2013: The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) brought tents to temporarily house the displaced families of Khirbet Makhoul in the Jordan Valley. Later, the Israeli army destroyed those tents. The Israeli military ordered the ICRC to leave the area and not to assist the community. The aid truck, which was loaded with more tents and other supplies, was therefore forced to leave. On Monday, September 16, 2013: residents of Khirbet Makhoul were woken up at 5:00 am to the sound of Israeli military bulldozers, escorted by Civil Administration teams, who started demolishing the houses in the area without prior warning.
