New Delhi: August, 2014.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” said Sandeep Marwah
Ambassador of International Human Rights Organization affiliated to United
Nations.
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.
“Humanitarian
workers and their families are hit hardest by these crimes. But they are also
felt by millions of others. Let us honor the fallen by protecting those
who carry on their work – and supporting humanitarian relief operations
worldwide.” Said Secretary General Ban Ki Moon.
