SCODO has partipaated to mark the World Humanitarian Day event planne for Monday 19 Aust 2024 at Martisoor Hotel in Garowe and LasAnod . The 2024 World Humanitarian Day (WHD) marks 21 years since the Canal Hotel bombing in Iraq, a tragedy that profoundly changed the way in which humanitarians operate – from being respected to being targeted.
This year’s WHD campaign #Act for Humanity# centers on confronting the normalization of attacks on civilians, including humanitarians, and impunity under International Humanitarian Law (IHL). 2023 marked the deadliest year on record for humanitarian workers. 2024 is on track to be even worse. These facts lay bare a glaring truth: the world is failing humanitarian workers and, by extension, the people they serve.
