It has never been more dangerous to be an aid worker. 2024 was the deadliest year on record for humanitarians, and 2025 is on track to be worse.

The launch of the Declaration for the Protection of Humanitarian Personnel at #UNGA80 is a commitment to uphold international law and take practical steps to protect humanitarian personnel. We must #ProtectHumanity.
