Each year, 19 August marks the anniversary of the 2003 bomb attack on the UN headquarters in Baghdad, Iraq, in which 22 humanitarian workers lost their lives. Since then, World Humanitarian Day has been an opportunity to commemorate the many women and men volunteers who risk being attacked, injured or killed in the context of their humanitarian work. Thanks to all of them.
