19th August is World Humanitarian Day, a day set aside not only to remember the lives of humanitarian workers lost in the performance of their duties, but also to reflect on what it means to be ‘a humanitarian worker’.
I invite you to take a moment to honour all our colleagues working in the humanitarian sector and to remember especially those who gave their lives while carrying out their humanitarian mission.
Also, check out the quiz I created from UN docs to test your knowledge and to learn more about humanitarian work and this day! More info about World Humanitarian Day can be found at www. Worldhumanitarianday. Info and https://ochaonline. Un. Org/whd/.
Good luck!

The WHD letters embedded on a map of the world show how World Humanitarian Day celebrates the global nature of humanitarian work while the two olive branches holding up the world symbolizes how essential peace is to sustaining humanity.
Each of the images (a drop of water, a red ribbon, a handshake, a gavel, a rice bowl, a schoolbook, and a tree) reflect the variety of sectors of the humanitarian field.
The multi-color flag flying from a solid-colored post celebrates how diversity and unity can co-exist, as we come together to honor those served by the humanitarian field and remember those who have given their lives in the name of serving those in need.
All of the above.
None of the above.
