19 August #World Humanitarian Day 2014: Theme Honours Aid Workers Killed across the World

World Humanitarian Day is a time to recognize
those who face danger and adversity in order to
help others. The day was designated by the
General
Assembly to coincide with the anniversary of the
2003 bombing of the United Nations headquarters
in
Baghdad, Iraq.
World Humanitarian Day is also an opportunity to
celebrate the spirit that inspires humanitarian work
around the globe.
This year the UN and its humanitarian partners
continue their ground-breaking campaign called
The
world needs more… which is the first-of-its-kind
project that turns words into aid.
