UN General Assembly chose the day of 19th on August as The World Humanitarian Day with the purpose of enhancing public understanding of the activities conducted under the humanitarian assistance worldwide. The anniversary in 2015 is to call for the world to inspire the spirit of humanity in the community.
 This international anniversary has been selected by the event that happened 12 years ago (August 19th 2003): The office of the United Nations in Iraq was bombed, causing 22 deaths including Mr. Sergio Viera de Mello, the High Commissioner for Human Rights of the United Nations and Special Representative of the UN Secretary General in Iraq at that time.
The World Humanitarian Day is an occasion to honor those who died or injured while supporting those in need as well as those who are continuing to appease the dolours and sharing difficulties with millions around the world. This anniversary also attracts everyone to pay more attention to humanitarian needs worldwide and the importance of international cooperation in responding to the humanitarian needs.
Every year, natural disasters cause enormous losses for millions of people - the poorest in the world in general, especially the most disadvantaged and vulnerable individuals.
Prior to this sad reality, the humanitarian aid workers have been working hard every day, every hour to provide urgent and long-term aid for the affected communities, wherever they are in the world, regardless of nationality, social group, religion, gender, ethnicity or any other factor. People must respect humanitarian aid workers and they can reach the people who need to carry out relief assistance.
