World Humanitarian Day is an opportunity to celebrate the humanitarian spirit and commemorate those who risk their lives helping others uprooted by conflict and natural disaster, working in the most difficult conditions on the frontlines of emergencies. Today, the IRC recognizes these brave humanitarians and remembers those who gave their lives while carrying out our mission.
Humanitarian workers take great risks to help millions of uprooted people torn apart by conflict and natural disaster, working in the most difficult conditions on the frontlines of emergencies.
