ai generated text
A record number of humanitarian personnel have been killed worldwide in 2024, with 281 deaths reported so far. The main cause of these fatalities is the ongoing bloodshed in the Middle East, particularly in Gaza.
States and parties to conflict must protect humanitarians, uphold international law, prosecute those responsible, and call time on this era of impunity.
Humanitarian workers are being killed at an unprecedented rate, their courage and humanity being met with bullets and bombs.
These numbers will send shockwaves around the humanitarian community, especially on the front lines of the response.
They represent the best of humanity, yet they are being killed in return – at record numbers.
Before the year is even over, 2024 has become the deadliest on record for humanitarian personnel worldwide.
