It would be most helpful if، for your part، you could provide him with any additional information at your disposal. required، it is important for us to have as much If action by the ICRC is information as possible concerning the number and the status of victims (whether sick، wounded، prisoners of war، internees، etc.) as well as the nature and amount of assistance required.

Your Excellency،

Yours faithfully،
