Humanitarian: The noble acts for society

World Humanitarian Day is observed annually on 19 August to honour humanitarian workers for their sacrifice of life and limbs while carrying out their vital work, as well as to recognize all aid and health workers who continue to provide life-saving support to those most in need. This day serves as a tribute to their courage, dedication, and tireless service in some of the world’s most challenging environments.
Humanitarian workers play an essential role in saving lives, protecting human dignity, and alleviating suffering. They deliver food, water, shelter, medical care, and psychosocial support to millions of vulnerable people who often have nowhere else to turn. Their work takes them into dangerous and difficult places, exposing them to risks such as violence, disease, and harsh living conditions.
Each year on World Humanitarian Day, communities, governments, and organizations unite to raise awareness, promote solidarity, and encourage greater support for humanitarian causes. Events around the world include memorials for fallen aid workers, awareness campaigns, and fundraising activities to support ongoing relief efforts.

In Myanmar, the challenges faced by humanitarian workers have been especially severe. The COVID-19 pandemic, combined with natural disasters such as Cyclone Mocha, Typhoon Yagi, and the devastating Mandalay earthquake, has created deadly conditions for many people. Humanitarian workers and local volunteers involved in relief efforts have confronted extraordinary difficulties, including poverty, limited job opportunities, and the impacts of ongoing armed conflicts. As Myanmar society admires those who sacrifice life and limbs for the sake of people and the nation, humanitarian workers can be dubbed as noble persons in society.

This day also provides an important opportunity to remember those humanitarian workers who have lost their lives in the line of duty. Their sacrifice highlights the true cost of humanitarian work and the need to protect and support those on the frontlines. To bring the global humanitarian community together, the day adopts a specific theme each year. This year’s theme, “Strengthening Global Solidarity and Empowering Local Communities”, emphasizes the importance of collaboration and local leadership in responding to crises.

Despite these challenges, many frontline aid workers continue to operate under intense pressure and with fewer resources than usual. Social care and emergency response teams remain committed to providing help without hesitation, striving relentlessly to meet the urgent needs of vulnerable populations. World Humanitarian Day reminds all of the critical importance of supporting humanitarian workers and reinforcing global solidarity to ensure that those affected by crises receive the care and protection they deserve.
