The World Humanitarian Day is to be observed on Sunday across the globe and in Pakistan with the theme “I was here”.
This year the day is about making a mark by doing something good for someone irrespective of their location in the world.
The day recognizes those who face danger and adversity in order to help others and aims at people to spread the message of humanity and increase public awareness about worldwide humanitarian assistance activities and international cooperation.
The day was designated by the United Nations General Assembly to coincide with the anniversary of the 2003 bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad, Iraq, which killed 22 UN staff members.
Every day humanitarian aid workers help millions of people around the world, regardless of who they are and where they are. World Humanitarian Day is a global celebration of people helping people. Many communities and organizations try to increase the importance of humanitarians by distributing publicity and information material.
