As the international community marks World Humanitarian Day , on 19 August, Pope Francis has invited everyone to pray for humanitarian workers, “especially for those who have died or been injured while helping people affected by wars and disasters.”
The number of humanitarians killed in the last 10 months in the Gaza Strip alone is higher than the total deaths of humanitarian workers around the world in the two years between 2021 and 2022. “These attacks," he noted,"occurred in spite of the fact that humanitarian agencies had provided their coordinates to the Israeli authorities to ensure their protection.”
This despite the US and all members of the European Union having signed the UN Arms Trade Treaty obligating member states to monitor arms exports and ensure that weapons don't cross existing arms embargoes or end up being used for human-rights abuses.
Caritas Internationalis hence called upon the EU for effective measures and more financial resources to ensure their safety, for accountability for those killed in the line of duty, and for “heightened media and political attention for the situations of local humanitarian workers.”
