On 19 August the global community, and especially the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), will celebrate World Humanitarian Day as they remember the 22 colleagues in an attack on the United Nations in Baghdad, Iraq in 2003.
20 years on, OCHA’s work has grown in scale and complexity. They now aim to help almost 250 million people – 10 times more than in 2003.
In World Humanitarian Day 2023, OCHA we will reaffirm its commitment to the values and principles that guide them, and hopefully also guide the rest of humanity. OCHA standS shoulder to shoulder with the communities they serve, no matter who, no matter where and #NoMatterWhat.
Material for the 2023 WHD campaign will become available here from 7 August.
