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.

When health facilities, health workers, medical transport and supplies come under attack, those vulnerable, sick, and seeking life-saving care lose all hope of healing.

Every attack on health care is an attack on people’s ability to survive and recover.

Stop attacks on health care.

Victoria* (name changed) is a primary healthcare doctor in Ukraine's Sumy region. She serves people living closest to the front line, many of whom have no other way to access medical care.

This is her story.

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.

Every attack puts lives at risk, deprives people of essential care and undermines the ability of health systems to respond when people are in need of urgent care.

Stop attacks on health care.

Humanitarians show up for people in some of their most difficult moments.

Across conflicts and emergencies, they provide protection and life-saving assistance to people forced to flee.

To humanitarians everywhere: thank you.

“Fresh graduates face a lot of challenges”, says Nibal who works in Nahr El Bared Camp, Lebanon.

UNRWA organises internships for Palestinian youth.

“I find out what job vacancies are out there and help match them with our students.”

UNRWA staff in the #WestBank are working to support #Palestine Refugees. Many are themselves forcibly displaced or have lost their homes.

Yet, they stay and deliver education, healthcare, food, waste management – and hope.

When health is under attack, lives hang by a thread.

🏥💔Attacks on health care block access for entire communities when it's needed most.

Legal, operational and policy actions towards protecting healthcare are vital.

🚨 Aid operations in #Gaza are on the brink of collapse.

The consequences are already deadly.

We call on world leaders to press for:

❗️Lifting the blockade
❗️A renewed ceasefire
❗️Letting aid organizations operate in line with humanitarian principles

Humanitarians aren’t just helpers.
They’re lifelines in the darkest hours.

2024 was the deadliest year on record.
2025 is already on course to be worse.

Protect those who protect others.
International law isn’t optional.

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.

This was a farm.

A simple stretch of land where people worked, grew food, and built a life. It’s no longer there.

In Gaza, homes, farms, and futures are disappearing.

We must #ActForHumanity.

This was a farm.

Now it’s a scarred field, silent where life once thrived.

In Ukraine, war has stolen the everyday — homes, harvests, hope.

On #WorldHumanitarianDay, we honour those who bring relief — and demand their protection.
