SUMMARY:WORLD HUMANITARIAN DAY
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nWorld Humanitarian Day honors humanitarian aid workers all over the world. \nEstablished by the UN in 2009\, this day commemorates  the anniversary of the bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Iraq. 22 people lost their lives\, including the UN’s High Commissioner for Human Rights. \nHumanitarian aid workers provide life-saving assistance to suffering people all over the world. Those workers who live in conflict zones or in areas devastated by natural disasters are especially vulnerable. Anyone and everyone can be a humanitarian. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHOW TO OBSERVE WORLD HUMANITARIAN DAY\n\n\n\nDonate to a humanitarian organization\nThere are humanitarian organizations all over the world in need of resources. If you are able to donate your time to one of these organizations\, that’s wonderful. If you can’t\, a monetary donation would go a long way in supplementing workers’ resources to help suffering communities. Search online for organizations doing humanitarian work\, or go directly to the UN’s World Humanitarian Day website for resources to get you started. \n\n\n\n\nDo some humanitarian work in your community\nBeing a humanitarian doesn’t have to mean traveling to a war zone — the point of humanitarian aid is to alleviate people’s suffering and maintain human dignity. There may be plenty of options for you to do just that close to home. Try volunteering at a homeless shelter\, a nursing home\, a hospital or a place that serves underprivileged children. \n\n\n\n\nContact your elected leaders\nCall\, email or send a tweet to let your elected leaders know how important humanitarian crises are to you. Ask them to commit to any number of actions to help bolster humanitarian causes in the areas that are near and dear to your heart. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
