Across the globe, humanitarians work tirelessly, every hour of every day, to provide life-saving assistance. Their work is vital to ensuring that people caught in crises receive the help they need. 💙

2023 was the deadliest year on record for humanitarians. Honouring them on #WorldHumanitarianDay is not enough. In Gaza, in Sudan & many other places, aid workers are attacked, killed, injured & abducted. We demand an end to impunity so that perpetrators face justice.

Today, we mark #WorldHumanitarianDay to celebrate the indispensable and tireless life-saving efforts of aid workers worldwide. Yet, tragically, 2023 was the deadliest year on record for them, and 2024 is likely to follow the same harrowing trend. Aid workers are #NotATarget❗️

To sustain peace & deliver on the #SDGs, it is key to tackle exclusion, adopt whole-of-society approaches & invest in local infrastructures for #peace & prevention. #UNSC 🇩🇰 DPR Amb Sandra Jensen Landi spoke on behalf of the Nordics 🇩🇰🇫🇮🇮🇸🇳🇴🇸🇪 Statement➡️fnnewyork.um.dk/en/statements/…
