Kuala Lumpur, 19 August 21 – Every year on the 19th of August, we honour people involved in the humanitarian and emergency reliefs world with the World Humanitarian Day. As stated by the United Nations Official Website, this year World Humanitarian Day theme is #TheHumanRace going with a global challenge for climate action in solidarity with the people who need it most. We believe that awareness on this issue should be spread intensively to the public to prevent disastrous impact on the people in need.

 

HISTORY

The World Humanitarian Day is a remembrance of the 19th of August 2003 event, where 22 people were killed in a bomb attack at the Canal Hotel in Baghdad, Iraq including the chief humanitarian in Iraq, Sergio Vieira de Mello. The United Nations General Assembly later formalized the date as the World Humanitarian Day (WHD) in 2009. After the formalization, each year was celebrated with specific theme as a contribution to different humanitarian worker’s field. This day is a tribute for all the humanitarian workers who had risked their lives, time, money, and families for the well-being of the people in need.
