Popote ambapo majanga mbalimbali hutokea, wapo wale wanaokuwa mstari wa mbele kuhakikisha wanatoa msaada wa haraka wa kibinadamu ikiwemo Chakula, Maji, Hifadhi, Usalama na Matibabu
Inakadiriwa kuwa, Watu Milioni 274 Duniani watahitaji Misaada ya Kibinadamu mwaka 2022 kutokana na athari za Mapigano, Umasikini, Mabadiliko ya TabiaNchi pamoja na Uhaba wa Chakula
Sudan Kusini, Afghanistan na Syria yametajwa kuwa maeneo hatarishi zaidi kwa wanaofanya kazi za kujitolea kwenye masuala ya Kibinadamu

On 19 August 2003, a bomb attack on the Canal Hotel in Baghdad, Iraq, killed 22 humanitarian aid workers, including the UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Iraq, Sergio Vieira de Mello. Five years later, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution designating 19 August as World Humanitarian Day (WHD).
Each year, WHD focuses on a theme, bringing together partners from across the humanitarian system to advocate for the survival, well-being and dignity of people affected by crises, and for the safety and security of aid workers.
For this year’s WHD, we show the importance, effectiveness and positive impact of humanitarian work.
WHD is a campaign by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
In 2022, 274 million people will need humanitarian assistance and protection.
This number is a significant increase from 235 million people a year ago, which was already the highest figure in decades. The United Nations and partner organizations aim to assist 183 million people most in need across 63 countries, which will require $41 billion.

- In 2021, 460 aid workers were attacked: 140 killed, 203 wounded and 117 kidnapped.
- Of the aid workers who died, 98% were national staff and 2% were international (expatriate) staff - more than half (53%) were staff of national NGOs.
- Most of the violence took place in South Sudan, Afghanistan and Syria.
- Casualties are expected to rise significantly in 2022 due to the war in Ukraine, where rocket attacks and shelling threaten civilians and aid providers equally.
- The 2021 Humanitarian Needs Overview estimated that 20.7 million (67% of the population) people need humanitarian assistance, 12.1 million of whom are estimated to be in acute need, which makes Yemen the largest humanitarian crisis in the world.
