"Warzones are full of danger.
But that’s never stopped humanitarian workers from living and working in such
places, with the aim of keeping civilians safe.
Humanitarian workers are deployed to locations ravaged by conflict or natural
disasters. Most recently, they’ve helped distribute essential supplies
including food, water and medicine to communities affected by the US-Iran
conflict.
In the last three years, more than 1,000 humanitarian workers have been killed
while serving in war-torn regions. Just last week, Australia joined six other
nations in calling for more legal protections for humanitarian personnel.
So what do humanitarian workers do? And are we doing enough to keep them safe?"
