“People become human once you recognize their humanity.” 🌍❤️ At our #WorldHumanitarianDay gathering, we reflected and asked: how do we invite others in, hear every voice, and see every person as fully human? Humanitarian work begins at home with compassion and courage. 🌟

The world marked #WorldHumanitarianDay this week.
2025 is on course to become the deadliest year for aid workers on record. Across the wider Caritas network, we're deeply concerned by the continual erosion of humanitarian law, something that Pope Leo XIV has also denounced.

Armed conflict causes immense suffering to children.
Many spaces they rely on for education or play are no longer safe.

On World Humanitarian Day, the U.N. reports 383 aid workers killed in 2024 — a 31% rise.
181 were killed by Israel in Gaza. 60 died in Sudan.
These were people trying to save lives.
This is not collateral damage. It’s a war on compassion.

Aid workers face deadly risks delivering lifesaving assistance in #Gaza. Israel’s severe restrictions on food & aid violate U.S. & int'l law—yet the U.S. hasn’t enforced those laws. On this #WorldHumanitarianDay, we urge #Congress to end U.S. complicity in this humanitarian catastrophe.
19 August marks #WorldHumanitarianDay - where we honour the relentless work of those on the humanitarian frontlines.
