This World Humanitarian Day we stand with those affected by conflict and violence

Not A Target

This World Humanitarian Day (19 August 2017) we come together in solidarity with people trapped in conflict, to reaffirm that civilians are #NotATarget and demand world leaders to take action to protect them.

Join the UN in advocating for the protection of civilians, including aid and health workers, and all those affected by conflict.
