"Last year was the deadliest year on record for aid workers.”
2024 is on course to be no better.
@HumOutcomes' Abby Stoddard briefed the @UN Security Council today on the need to protect humanitarian aid workers in conflict.
Today, we have reached a grim milestone.
281 aid workers have been killed this year, the highest toll on record.
"They show the best humanity has to offer and they are getting killed in return."
Those in power must #ActForHumanity and ensure the protection of humanitarians.
❌ 302 aid workers have lost their lives in the occupied Palestinian territory since 7 October 2023, as reported by the Aid Worker Security Database managed by @HumOutcomes. Figures as of 30 September 2024.
