On this #WorldHumanitarianDay, we demand action for humanitarians. We condemn the failure to protect them and those they serve. We remember those we’ve lost and say: end impunity. #ActforHumanity

The normalization of violence against humanitarian workers and lack of accountability must end. Humanitarian personnel, assets and space to operate must be protected. Attacks on them must stop.

This #WorldHumanitarianDay, we honour those who protect humanity, and those we've lost. In conflicts around the world, civilians suffer. Aid workers are attacked. International Humanitarian Law is ignored. Accountability is urgent. #ActForHumanity www.genevacall.org/news/not-jus...

On #WorldHumanitarianDay on 19 August, we honour humanitarian workers everywhere, commemorate those we have lost to increasing violence, and rally support for people affected by crises around the world.
