World
Humanitarian Day falls on 19 August, the day when, in 2003, 22 aid
workers were killed in a bombing at the UN headquarters in Baghdad. It's
a day to pay tribute to all people affected by humanitarian crises and
those who lost their lives in humanitarian service. It's a day to
celebrate the spirit that inspires humanitarian work around the world.
As
the world becomes a more and more volatile place, this has never been
more important. There is an urgent need to realize a greater sense of
responsibility and develop a sense of global community. World
Humanitarian Day should inspire action and make it clear that we stand
in solidarity against conflict, torture, disease, famine, suffering and
the poor leadership that often turns a blind eye. This day is a great
opportunity to get involved and do something to help those who need it
the most.
