🕊️ Every August 19th, we commemorate World Humanitarian Day, honouring the dedication and sacrifices of humanitarian aid workers. This day also centers around a key theme, uniting partners across the humanitarian community to advocate for the survival, dignity, and well-being of those affected by crises, and to ensure the safety of aid workers. This year’s theme, #ActForHumanity, focuses on confronting the growing normalization of attacks on civilians and humanitarians, and the impunity under International Humanitarian Law (IHL). Their goal is to build public support, pressuring conflict parties and world leaders to take action for the protection of civilians and humanitarians in conflict zones. 🤝🏻 🔗 Learn more and join the campaign: https://bit.ly/3YLQBBb

RIP AI precision on clearly marked vehicles? Stop all violence! Stop killing innocent humanitarians! Israel could actually "easily" follow the gist of the UNSC and the ICJ decisions by creating a humanitarian solution which nevertheless includes achieving its military goal of fully dismantling Hamas! If Israel opens its borders and create Blue Helmets/UN peace force controlled, UNHCR managed, refugee facilities in Israel, it could dismantle all military infrastructure in Gaza without causing any further civilian collateral damage. At the same time would the (disarmed) Gazans have a stable very safe zone to go to with a high likelihood to be able to return home if Gaza becomes inhabitable again (currently it is no longer). Finally, by involving the international community, a starting point for co-existence as equals could be created. www.pax.ngo & www.convergence.ngo
We are outraged and appalled by the killing of World Central Kitchen aid workers in #Gaza while delivering food to desperate, starving communities. “All this talk about ceasefires, and still this war steals the best of us,” states United Nations Relief Chief Martin Griffiths. These attacks are indefensible and unforgivable. They are a grave violation of international humanitarian law. We will continue to reiterate this tirelessly: Humanitarians are #NotATarget and must be protected at all times, #NoMatterWhat. They must always be able to safely distribute aid, and their vital efforts to help people in need must be facilitated. Period.
