Local humanitarians make our impact possible. Yet they also bear the overwhelming brunt of violence and loss.
Global data from the Aid Worker Security Database, shows that in 2025, of the 332 humanitarians who were killed in violent incidents worldwide, 99 percent were local personnel.
This must stop. Humanitarians must be protected. #WorldHumanitarianDay

Four months after the floods in Mozambique, many families are still recovering from the loss of homes, livelihoods and access to basic services.
In Xinavane, the @CruzVermelhaMOZ, with support from @IFRC, distributed vouchers for essential food items to around 580 families affected by the floods earlier this year.
This assistance is being provided under the IFRC Emergency Appeal for the Mozambique floods, with the generous support of the @RedCross.

She didn’t wait for systems—she built them.
That’s what nurse leadership looks like.
