19 August is #WorldHumanitarianDay.
Last year, we urged leaders to stop the killing of aid workers.
They listened – then looked away.
This year, we sound the alarm with sharper urgency:
❗ Protect humanitarians.
❗ Respect the rules of war.
❗ End impunity.

❤️ A powerful and moving video commemorating three years of conflict in Ukraine, highlighting the resilience and strength of older persons.

"To Feel Human" shares the inspiring story of Anhelina, 67, who stepped up as a social worker to support others during #Ukraine’s most challenging times.
This film honours older Ukrainians like her - who rose to help their communities.

Good to see organizations that have done so much to save lives directly call for more attention to this issue.
