August 19 was chosen to commemorates the August 19, 2003 bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad, Iraq, which claimed the lives of 22 Humanitarian Workers, including the UN Special Representative Sรฉrgio Vieira de Mello. The annual event honors their sacrifice and recognizes the dedication of humanitarian workers worldwide.

Let us also recognize and appreciate the humanitarian workers who courageously serve others in difficult situations. โ๏ธ๐ค
