What does World Humanitarian Day mean to the Palestinians?

 19 August 2017

 

Around  the  Globe,  people  are  caught  in  perpetuated  conflicts  caused  by  wars,  poverty, economic inequalities, political instability and others; causing millions of civilians to flee their homes and countries. Similarly, and since 1948 Palestinians continue  to endure persistent dispossession, fragmentation, and military occupation. This year, the United Nations launched a campaign that highlighted the situation of the Peoples under conflict like Palestine, demanding the international community to do everything in their ‘power to protect civilians in conflict’. According to the United Nations, since 2003 World Humanitarian Day  (WHD)  is  held  annually  on  August  19th to  ‘pay  tribute  to  aid workers who  risk  their  lives  in humanitarian service, and to rally support for people affected by crises around the world’.
