Even in war, healthcare is sacred.

Yet in the past two years, @who.int has recorded almost 2500 attacks on health.  
 
On #WorldHumanitarianDay, we call on world leaders to protect health workers and patients.  

The best medicine is peace.

On #WorldHumanitarianDay, we honour UNRWA staff who serve #Palestine Refugees in #Gaza, the West Bank, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan.

They keep UNRWA schools and clinics running, and protect hope in the hardest times.

They continue to #ActForHumanity.

#WorldHumanitarianDay is about remembrance. But increasingly, it is also a warning. Aid workers are being killed at record rates as the rules meant to protect them are eroded.
The rules exist because we chose to write them. The world we want will exist only if we choose to defend them.

Today we honour the courageous humanitarian workers risking their lives to bring hope and relief to those facing famine, displacement and violence in Gaza, Ukraine, Yemen, Sudan, DRC and many other countries. We stand with the communities they serve

In 2016 a British man who saved the lives of 669 mostly Jewish children during the Holocaust featured in set of Royal Mail stamps, honouring UK's greatest humanitarians & their achievements.
On this #WorldHumanitarianDay we remember Sir Nicholas Winton.

Ook vandaag, op #WorldHumanitarianDay, hangt onze vlag verdrietig genoeg weer halfstok. We herdenken collega Ato Honelegn Fentahun van het Ethiopische Rode Kruis, die vorige week na een ontvoering overleed. We wensen zijn familie, vrienden en collega’s veel sterkte met dit afschuwelijke verlies.💔

This #WorldHumanitarianDay, we recognize the selfless efforts of humanitarians. Putting others’ needs before themselves, humanitarians fight everyday to create a better world for all
 
Their sacrifice reminds us all of the importance of providing assistance, without discrimination, to those in need.

We honor those who show up for others in moments of crisis. We celebrate humanity's capacity for goodwill. We call out the moral bankruptcy of aid cuts. Dad said, “Life's most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?" It’s a question & call to action. #WorldHumanitarianDay

This World Humanitarian Day (19 Aug), we remember Ko Athar (24), Ko Myat Thu (19), and Ko Leon (24), three queer aid workers brutally killed by the junta. Humanitarian work should never be a death sentence.

To those with power and influence.

Last year, we called on you to act:
🔴Respect the rules of war.
🔴Protect humanitarians and civilians.
🔴End impunity.

Nothing changed.

How much more suffering will you ignore?

On #WorldHumanitarianDay, we urge you to #ActForHumanity – now.

Every day, our humanitarian workers make a real difference in the lives of #Palestine Refugees.

This #WorldHumanitarianDay, we join the call to those in power to #ActForHumanity by protecting those who risk their lives to support people in need.
Humanitarian workers are not targets.

Aid workers are being killed at record levels.

"This is a stain. It's the normalization of violence against our community and we will not accept it."

Concern is not enough. What we need is concrete action.

This #WorldHumanitarianDay, we pay tribute to the dedication and resilience of @unrwa.org staff who persevere in their work supporting #PalestineRefugees in the #WestBank under impossible conditions.

UNRWA's Palestinian staff carry the mandate of the Agency on their shoulders.

19 August is #WorldHumanitarianDay.

Last year, we urged leaders to stop the killing of aid workers.

They listened – then looked away.

This year, we sound the alarm with sharper urgency:
❗ Protect humanitarians.
❗ Respect the rules of war.
❗ End impunity.

The EU has been providing humanitarian assistance for over 30 years and remains a global leading donor.

None of this would be possible without its civil society organisations and its citizens.

On #WorldHumanitarianDay, we celebrate those heroes who respond to protect lives.
