World Humanitarian Day 2022; August 19th.

FORUM:  It takes a village. World Humanitarian Day 2022.

The 2022 WHD campaign shines a light on the thousands of volunteers, professionals and crisis-affected people who deliver urgent health care, shelter, food, protection, water and much more.
For this year’s WHD, we will use digital art to tell the stories of people in need and those who help them. At the centre of the campaign is a series of beautifully illustrated aid worker profiles that show the breadth and depth of humanitarian work and collectively symbolize the wider humanitarian village. Follow the conversation with the hashtags #worldhumanitarianday; #19August; #ItTakesAVillage



Conflict, climate change, a pandemic, hunger, displacement... Never has the world seen such complex megacrises. Yet there is a group of people who never give up easing suffering and bringing hope.



EVENTS: Day of Remembrance on the 19th Anniversary of the bomb attack on UN headquarters in Bagdad.

The 19th anniversary of the bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad will be observed on Friday, 19 August 2022 with a brief ceremony organized by the Standing Committee on the Security and Independence of the International Civil Service and DMSPC. The ceremony also marks the observance of World Humanitarian Day designated by the General Assembly in 2008 to honour humanitarian aid workers who have been killed or injured in the course of their work.
