How much more do those in power need to see before they act? It's time they #ActForHumanity! International humanitarian law is being violated, and civilians and aid workers are paying the price. This #WorldHumanitarianDay, Muzoon Al-Mellehan added her voice. Add yours and share.

2023 was the deadliest year on record for humanitarians. Honouring them on #WorldHumanitarianDay is not enough. In Gaza, in Sudan & many other places, aid workers are attacked, killed, injured & abducted. We demand an end to impunity so that perpetrators face justice.

Today is #WorldHumanitarianDay. Join us in demanding protection for civilians and humanitarians in war zones. Despite international laws in place to protect them, they continue to be killed, injured and abducted. Add your voice: call on those in power to #ActForHumanity!

This year on #WorldHumanitarianDay, CIVIC joins more than 400 humanitarian organizations to call for the protection of civilians, including our community of aid workers. On this occasion, we adressed a letter to Member States of the UN General Assembly👇🏽 unocha.org/news/protect-c…

International humanitarian law – the law that protects civilians during wartime – is being ignored & trampled. This is a failure of humanity, responsibility & leadership. Governments must #ActForHumanity & put pressure on all those involved in conflict to protect civilians.

2023 was the deadliest year on record for aid workers. At least 280 of them were killed. More than half of these aid workers were killed in Gaza from Oct -Dec 2023. 2024 is on track to being even deadlier than 2023. #WorldHumanitarianDay #NotATarget

We welcome the UK’s decision of a partial suspension of arms exports to Israel. Yet, this is insufficient. CIVIC calls for a complete halt to all UK arms transfers because of their likely use to commit IHL violations. The U.S. should follow suit. theguardian.com/politics/artic…
