As we mark 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝘆 on 19 August, we find ourselves at a grim crossroad.  2023 went down in history as the deadliest on record for humanitarian workers— selfless individuals who risk everything to provide life-saving assistance in the world’s most perilous regions. Alarmingly, 2024 is on track to be even worse. In most cases, the majority of humanitarian assistance is provided by local actors. Humanitarian workers are often people from the impacted communities— and they are the majority of those killed or injured. According to HelpAge International, so far, 192 humanitarian workers have been killed in 2024, 119 of whom were local staff.

Let us demand accountability and justice. Let us insist on the protection of those who, in the face of unimaginable danger, refuse to turn away from those in need. The time to act is now. Together, we can and must make a stand for humanity.” HelpAge International 📷 UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) #WorldHumanitarianDay #WHD2024 #protectthosewhoserve #savelives #inclusionforreal #togetherness #ActForHumanity

Today is World Humanitarian Day. Let's recognize the amazing work of humanitarian organizations and the dedicated individuals who selflessly serve humanity. The significance of this day resonates deeply with my personal values. The need to address global health challenges, fight inequality, and support those in need is one of my key drivers. World Humanitarian Day reminds us that we have the power to make a difference and uplift communities. But it isn't just about honoring frontline heroes. It's a call to action for all of us. We all have a part to play in building a more compassionate and inclusive world. https://lnkd.in/gqE5HXcA #WorldHumanitarianDay #HumanitarianHeroes #ActForHumanity

celebrating World Humanitarian Day: Honoring Heroes of Compassion and Action. Every year, on August 19th, the world meets to observe World Humanitarian Day. This day is a tribute to the spirit of humanitarian work, recognizing the individuals who risk their lives and well-being to help those in need. Whether working in war zones, responding to natural disasters, or providing essential services in underserved communities, humanitarians are often the unsung heroes of our time. They can be doctors, nurses, engineers, aid workers, volunteers, and even everyday citizens who step up in times of crisis. Their work is not just about fostering long-term recovery and resilience. They are the ones who bring hope to the hopeless, who rebuild lives from the rubble, and who remind us of the power of compassion and solidarity. On World Humanitarian Day, we honor these heroes by sharing their stories, raising awareness about their work, and advocating for the protection of humanitarian workers worldwide. #Worldhumanitarianday #leavenoonebehind

On World Humanitarian Day, we reflect on the incredible bravery of humanitarian workers who risk their lives to bring hope and assistance to those in desperate need - https://lnkd.in/gRW9MuWS   Alarmingly, 2024 has already seen 192 humanitarian workers killed, with the majority being local staff from the very communities they serve.    This stark reality underscores a tragic truth: the world is failing those who dedicate their lives to saving others. Despite internationally recognised laws meant to protect civilians and aid workers, these protections are being flagrantly ignored.    The result is a catastrophic loss of life and a deepening humanitarian crisis. At HelpAge International, we are committed to advocating for the safety and inclusion of all, particularly #OlderPeople who are often overlooked in emergencies.    On 19 August, I will be attending a memorial event at Westminster Abbey to pay tribute to humanitarian workers the world has lost this year.   The protection of civilians and humanitarian workers is not just a legal obligation; it is a moral imperative. We must demand accountability and ensure that those who serve are not left at risk. Our collective humanity depends on it.   #ActForHumanity #NotATarget #WorldHumanitarianDay

2023 was the deadliest year for humanitarian workers and 2024 is expected to be worse. We, our communities, governments and country leaders must do much more to make sure international humanitarian laws are upheld and abided to. Humanitarian workers, their centers, schools and hospitals are NOT targets in wars and should never be targeted. #worldhumanitarianday #ActForHumanity

Today, we honor the incredible dedication and bravery of humanitarian workers around the globe. World Humanitarian Day, observed every August 19th, recognizes humanitarian workers who dedicate their lives to working for humanitarian causes. It is a day to remind us that these are the people who make our lives much easier and safer and to recognize the efforts of aid workers who put their lives on the line to help affected people during times of global crisis. This year’s theme, #ActForHumanity, emphasizes the urgent need to protect civilians and humanitarian workers in conflict zones. Let’s come together to celebrate and recognize their invaluable contributions. #WorldHumanitarianDay #ActForHumanity #HumanitarianHeroes

At TAG International, delivering our projects successfully across the globe often involves partnering with NGOs and other organisations that provide humanitarian assistance to some of the most vulnerable communities on the planet. On World Humanitarian Day, we recognise the dedication of humanitarian workers who operate in some of the most dangerous and challenging environments to bring relief and hope to those in desperate need. Their work is more than just service—it is a demonstration of humanity at its best.   Humanitarianism transcends borders, politics, and conflicts, representing a shared global responsibility. Yet, the cost of this commitment can be steep. In 2023, 261 aid workers lost their lives, a devastating increase from 118 in 2021. Additionally, 78 aid workers were kidnapped, highlighting the persistent dangers in volatile regions. Furthermore, 196 aid workers were wounded worldwide in 2023, often while delivering life-saving assistance.   These figures serve as a sobering reminder of the sacrifices made by those who choose to serve others, often at great personal risk.   #WorldHumanitarianDay

Today, August 19th, we commemorate World Humanitarian Day to honor humanitarian efforts worldwide and celebrate those who make helping others their life's mission. World Humanitarian Day was established by the United Nations in 2009. Each year, it focuses on a specific theme to highlight different humanitarian challenges, and this year's theme is #NoMatterWhat: Humanitarians Deliver. This theme focuses on the unwavering commitment and perseverance of humanitarian aid workers who provide help to vulnerable populations regardless of their circumstances. At Net Impact, our mission lies in equipping emerging leaders to create a better world through seasonal programs, skills uplifting, and more. Join us in honoring World Humanitarian Day and celebrating the dedication, courage, and ingenuity of the brave individuals who work tirelessly under challenging circumstances to deliver lifesaving aid to those in need.
