Appreciate humanitarian workers

HUMANITARIAN workers are taking a risk to assist people in crises in 54 countries including nine countries which have been catapulted into humanitarian need by the Covid-19 pandemic.
These real-life heroes are doing extraordinary things in extraordinary times to help women, men and children whose lives are overturned by crises.
Some humanitarian workers are killed and injured in the course of their work.
Let us honour all aid and health workers who continue, despite the odds, to provide life-saving support and protection to people in need.
Being a humanitarian means helping people who are suffering and saving lives at any time and place in the world.
Humanitarian work requires being responsible, conscious of the circumstances of other people’s lives, and helping them on the basis of need, without discrimination.
Let us all celebrate and appreciate aid workers who are doing extraordinary work particularly during these tough times of Covid-19.
