World Humanitarian Day (WHD)

In 2009, the United Nations General Assembly designated August 19 as World Humanitarian Day (WHD) to advocate for the survival, well-being and dignity of people affected by crises, and for the safety and security of aid workers.

This year the world is celebrating the #World_Humanitarian_Day under the theme #The_Human_Race to highlight the immediate human cost of the climate crisis by pressuring world leaders to take meaningful climate action for the world’s most vulnerable people.

According to USAID, Several vulnerability indices rank Sudan among the most vulnerable countries in the world to climate variability and change. Changes in climate pose challenges to Sudan’s ongoing efforts to combat #poverty, reduce #food_insecurity and sustainably manage #natural_resources.
