August 19 — World Humanitarian Day: We Don’t Celebrate, We Act

Today, August 19, on World Humanitarian Day, we emphasize that this date is not a reason for celebration but a reminder of the critical need for support. According to OCHA, over 12.7 million Ukrainians require humanitarian intervention, highlighting the severity of the situation in the country.

We note that amid reductions in global funding and high risks for humanitarian workers, the importance of continuing assistance increases. We continue our mission by providing support to hospitals, supplying defenders with tactical medical equipment, and conducting life-saving training.

As an example, we recently unloaded medical supplies from our partners in the United Kingdom and prepared four pallets of hygiene products jointly purchased with partners from Japan. These shipments were promptly sent to Kherson and Kolomyia.

We express our gratitude to Humanitarian Nova Poshta for their invaluable contribution to logistics. Our team emphasizes that inaction and indifference are a betrayal of those who survive every day, and calls for further joint action, because “Evil does not stop by itself. It is stopped by human words and responsibility.”
