When health is under attack, lives hang by a thread. 🏥💔Attacks on health care block access for entire communities when it's needed most. Legal, operational and policy actions towards protecting healthcare are vital. #ActForHumanity

Even in war, healthcare is sacred. Yet in the past two years, @who.int has recorded almost 2500 attacks on health.     On #WorldHumanitarianDay, we call on world leaders to protect health workers and patients.   The best medicine is peace. #ActForHumanity

When health facilities, health workers, medical transport and supplies come under attack, those vulnerable, sick, and seeking life-saving care lose all hope of healing. Every attack on health care is an attack on people’s ability to survive and recover. Stop attacks on health care. #ActForHumanity

It's #WorldHumanitarianDay -- a celebration of people helping people. Designated in memory of the Canal Hotel bombing in Iraq #OTD in 2003 that killed 22 humanitarian aid workers, including one of my personal heroes, Sergio Vieira de Mello, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. #ActForHumanity

On #WorldHumanitarianDay, we honour UNRWA staff who serve #Palestine Refugees in #Gaza, the West Bank, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan. They keep UNRWA schools and clinics running, and protect hope in the hardest times. They continue to #ActForHumanity.

Every attack puts lives at risk, deprives people of essential care and undermines the ability of health systems to respond when people are in need of urgent care. Stop attacks on health care. #WorldHumanitarianDay #ActForHumanity bsky.app/profile/who....

Today we honour the courageous humanitarian workers risking their lives to bring hope and relief to those facing famine, displacement and violence in Gaza, Ukraine, Yemen, Sudan, DRC and many other countries. We stand with the communities they serve #WorldHumanitarianDay #ActForHumanity

“Fresh graduates face a lot of challenges”, says Nibal who works in Nahr El Bared Camp, Lebanon. UNRWA organises internships for Palestinian youth. “I find out what job vacancies are out there and help match them with our students.” #UNRWAworks #ActForHumanity

Humanitarians show up for people in some of their most difficult moments. Across conflicts and emergencies, they provide protection and life-saving assistance to people forced to flee. To humanitarians everywhere: thank you. #ActForHumanity
