World Humanitarian Day is observed every year on 19 August in a bid to save and protect lives around the world. The occasion is observed to recognise the work done by humanitarians around the world by venturing into disaster-stricken regions and onto the front lines to save and protect people's lives. The theme for World Humanitarian Day 2023 - "No matter what" highlights the significance of humanitarian efforts globally, emphasizing their effectiveness and the positive impact they have on communities worldwide.

World Humanitarian Day serves as a vital reminder of the hurdles encountered by humanitarian workers in providing aid to those in need and reinforces the UN's dedication to reaching vulnerable populations with humanitarian assistance, all while upholding the principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality, and independence.
