Emergencies cause immense suffering for millions of people - often the world's poorest, most marginalized and vulnerable individuals. Humanitarian aid workers, including health care workers strive to provide life-saving assistance and long term rehabilitation to disaster-affected communities, regardless of where they are in the world and without discrimination. On 19 August, World Humanitarian Day brings citizens of the world together to rally support for people living in crises and to pay tribute to the aid workers who help them. Join the #NotATarget movement and demand world leaders do everything in their power to protect all civilians and health care workers in conflict.
