Every year on 19 August, World Humanitarian Day (WHD) brings the world together to rally support for people affected by humanitarian crisis and pay tribute to aid workers who help them. This WHD, we will come together to reaffirm that civilians caught in conflict are #NotATarget, and to demand global action to protect them.
Emergencies cause immense suffering for millions of people – usually the world’s poorest, most marginalized and vulnerable individuals. Humanitarian aid workers, including health care workers, strive to provide life-saving assistance and long term rehabilitation to disaster-affected communities, regardless of where they are in the world and without discrimination based on nationality, social group, religion, sex, race or any other factor.
Join the #NotATarget movement and demand world leaders do everything in their power to protect all civilians and healthcare workers in conflict.
“Health is a fundamental human right, and attacks on health care are a blatant violation of that right.” Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of WHO.
Our staff proved that despite the challenges, we can continue to deliver life-saving report and much appreciated the partners who supported us all the hard times.
Kindly see some field photos of World Humanitarian Day (WHD) celebration carried out by our staff today in the field.
