World Humanitarian Day HistoryWorld Humanitarian Day is an observance that honours the selfless efforts of humanitarian workers and volunteers who risk their lives to provide assistance to those in need. This special day aims to raise awareness about the challenges faced by humanitarian personnel and to advocate for their safety and security. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of international cooperation in addressing humanitarian needs and promoting the well-being of affected individuals and communities. The United Nations established World Humanitarian Day in 2008 to commemorate the tragic loss of Sergio Vieira de Mello, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and 21 other individuals during a terrorist attack on the UN headquarters in Baghdad on August 19, 2003. This day is particularly significant as it serves to acknowledge and honour the work of thousands of Canadian humanitarian professionals and volunteers who have dedicated their time, skills, and lives to support vulnerable populations around the world. Canada has a long history of providing significant financial assistance and actively participating in various international humanitarian missions. World Humanitarian Day is observed through numerous events and activities that honour the efforts and sacrifices of humanitarian workers. These events include panel discussions highlighting the challenges faced by professionals in the field, fundraising initiatives supporting humanitarian organizations, and various public awareness campaigns. The Canadian government and various non-governmental organizations also use this opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of continuing to support those in need and promoting global solidarity. Each year, World Humanitarian Day takes place on August 19th. World Humanitarian Day facts
