Iron is getting reduced, because its state of oxidation decreases from +3 to +2.
Sulfur is getting oxidised, because its state of oxidation rises from -2 to 0
The state of oxidation of Hydrogen (+1) and Chlorine(-1) does not change.
Note:
The correct formulation fo the reaction is:
2 FeCl3 + H2S --> 2 FeCl2 + HCl + S

FeCl3 gets reduced as the oxidation number of Fe reduce from +3 to +2.
H2S gets oxidised as the oxidation number of S increase from -2 to 0.

Fecl3 is reduced, H2S oxidised. By the way the equation doesn't balance.

Fecl3 is getting oxidized n H2s is getting reduced

fecl3 is reduced as os of fe is decreasing from +3 to +2
and h2s is reduced to s
