On 19 August we commemorate World Humanitarian Day, which was established in response to the 2003 bombing in Baghdad which targeted UN staff.

In this message from RedR Australia's CEO, Dr. Helen Durham, she calls out the alarming rise in attacks against humanitarian workers and civilians.

The 2024 World Humanitarian Day campaign, #actforhumanity, is a call to action—and we invite you to act. Whether it's learning more about current crises, having a difficult conversation, advocating for the respect of international law or supporting a humanitarian organisation. On behalf of all those affected by crises, let's create safer communities for all.
