What people demand as they celebrate World Humanitarian Day

Published




World Humanitarian Day (WHD) is held every year on August 19 to pay tribute to aid workers who risk their lives in humanitarian service, and to mobilise people to advocate for a more humane world.

Aid Workers are the people distributed internationally to do humanitarian aid work. Very often, they have to leave their homeland to very distant places to help others. Every day, some of them witness the saddest consequences of wars and violence going on around the world.

The theme of this years commemoration is “One Humanity”. It speaks to how shared human experiences binds humanity across divides, and create a common responsibility to demand action for the most vulnerable and at risk of being left behind.

However many people think the World Humanitarian day is an exercise in futility because only one day is not enough if violence and suffering prevails on the other days. They are asking for an end to violence and calling on all to embrace dialogue.

This video illustrates the one thing that all of humanity is demanding while the tweets are opinions of people who think World Humanitarian Day should be everyday.
