 An appeal for greater protection of aid workers on World Humanitarian DayNearly 2,000 attacks on healthcare since Ukraine war began: WHOGuterres welcomes move to reopen key border crossing for aid delivery to Sudan 

Send us a Text Message.Join us for a special extra edition of Inside Geneva to mark World Humanitarian Day, with testimonies from aid workers who have given their all – and who have often lost a great deal.“So I had taken him to the airport together with our child, and, yes, it took me in fact many years to be able to use the same elevator in the airport where I last kissed him,” says Laura Dolci. Dolci's young husband Jean-Selim was killed, just weeks after the birth of their son, in the bombing of the UN's headquarters in Baghdad in 2003.Twenty years on, WHO cameraman Chris Black was sent to Gaza, to support, and document, medical care there.“Something I really will never forget is a woman, with a young child, saying to me: ‘Are we safe here?' And I wanted to say: ‘Yes, you're in the grounds of a hospital, under international humanitarian law this is a protected space, you should be safe here.' But I couldn't say to her: ‘You're safe here,'” says Black.  More than 200 aid workers have been killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023. “People have told me oh you must be very brave for going to Gaza. And I don't think so. I think what's brave is the people who have been doing this work since early October and who go back every day to do it again and again and again,” continues Black.  “The aid worker, the humanitarian worker, the peacekeeper; ultimately it's a human being that decides to put its own being to the service of humanity,” says Dolci.  Join host Imogen Foulkes on Inside Geneva for an inspiring listen.Get in touch!

Aid groups demand the government uphold international law on World Humanitarian Day, Refugee advocates call for the evacuation of 140 people from offshore detention, Katarzyna Niewiadoma wins the Tour de France Femmes by the narrowest of margins.

On the phone-in today: Nathaniel Pearre answers questions about EVs. He's a research fellow at Dalhousie University studying electric vehicles in the renewable energy storage lab. And off the top of the show, we talk with Vanessa Pike from Canadian Foodgrains Bank about World Humanitarian Day and the rise in violence against aid workers. We also hear about abandoned mine sites in NS from Donnie Burke who's with Build Nova Scotia's environmental group.

To mark World Humanitarian Day, this episode examines how the rules of war have changed in our increasingly polarised world and asks how we can better protect the delivery of life-saving humanitarian assistance.World Humanitarian Day recognises and raises awareness of the courageous work of humanitarians around the world. It was established by the UN to commemorate the anniversary of a bomb attack on UN headquarters in Baghdad on 19 August 2003, which killed 22 humanitarian workers including the UN's chief humanitarian in Iraq Sergio Vieira de Mello.Last year was the deadliest on record for humanitarian workers, and 2024 could be even worse. The past few months have seen egregious attacks against aid workers in Gaza and in lesser reported conflicts, including in Sudan and South Sudan. International Humanitarian Law – designed to protect aid workers and civilians – has been repeatedly flouted.This episode puts these crises under the spotlight. We reflect on what these worrying trends reveal about the humanitarian aid system and the evolution of armed conflict today, as well as state of our global rules-based order.GuestsSara Pantuliano (host), Chief Executive, ODISorcha O'Callaghan, Director of the Humanitarian Policy Group, ODIAbby Stoddard, Partner, Humanitarian OutcomesOla Mohammed, Gaza Programme Manager, Muslim AidRelated resourcesHumanitarians in the line of fire: when acting for humanity proves deadlyThe meeting of humanitarian and civic space in Sudan: lessons for localisationEvent recap: Sounding the alarm on Sudan's hunger crisisWhatever happens now, South–South solidarity with Gaza has already exposed the WestGaza: a litmus test for the humanitarian sector's commitment to decolonisation?Humanitarian hypocrisy, double standards and the law in Gaza

In commemoration of World Humanitarian Day, this is an occasion to honour the humanitarian heroes who operate on the frontlines, delivering indispensable assistance in the face of challenges amidst chaos and confusion. It is also an opportunity to foster global awareness around how different crises impact women and girls, particularly their sexual and reproductive health. Join us in this episode, where we delve into the realm of how humanitarians serve on the ground to uphold the dignity of women and girls amidst crises by providing life-saving health services to ensure pregnant women can still give birth safely, and that women and girls are safeguarded from increased risks of violence.

**Secretary-General's TravelGood afternoon and happy Friday to everyone. The Secretary-General has recently arrived in Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, where he is set to meet the President of Moldova, Maia Sandru. Earlier today, the Secretary-General traveled to Odesa, Ukraine's main Black Sea port, where he was greeted by Oleksandr Kubrakov, the country's infrastructure minister. The Secretary-General boarded the M/V Kubrosli Y, a bulk carrier loading up some 10,000 metric tons of wheat. Touring the ship, he was able to witness grain filling up the ship's holding tanks.In speaking to reporters afterwards, Mr. [António] Guterres expressed his emotion at being able to witness the loading operation. He said that in less than a month, 25 ships have departed from Odesa and other Ukrainian ports, carrying well over 600,000 metric tons of food products. As he toured the port, the Secretary-General made a special appeal to the wealthier world for those bearing the brunt of the global food crisis. He said that it is time for massive and generous support so developing countries can purchase the food from Odesa and other ports — and people can buy it.Tomorrow, the Secretary-General will fly to Istanbul to visit the Joint Coordination Centre for the Black Sea Grain Initiative. He will return to New York late tomorrow night.**AfghanistanIn a statement issued yesterday evening, the Secretary-General expressed his deep concern over a series of explosions in Afghanistan that have killed and injured more than 250 people this month, including children. He strongly condemned the Wednesday attack at the Abu Bakar Mosque in Kabul city. The Secretary-General extends his deepest condolences to the victims' families and wishes a swift recovery to those injured. Any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever, whenever and by whomsoever committed. All Afghans have the right to live in peace and exercise their freedom of religion.**Occupied Palestinian TerritoryIn a statement yesterday, United Nations agencies working in the Occupied Palestinian Territory said that they and their partners take seriously allegations of funding terrorism and the Israeli designations of seven Palestinian organizations as “terror organizations” and/or “unlawful”. However, they add, despite offers to review the allegations to determine if funds have been diverted, Israeli authorities have not given any compelling evidence to the United Nations Agencies nor its NGO (non-governmental organization) partners working in the Occupied Palestinian Territory to support these designations. The attempted closures of these organizations' offices represent the latest in a series of actions by Israel that are further limiting the ability of human rights, humanitarian and development work in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, which affect all institutions working to promote human rights, development and delivering assistance. The UN agencies urge the Government of Israel to refrain from any action that would prevent these organizations from continuing their critical human rights, humanitarian and development work in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.**Horn of AfricaIn the Horn of Africa, the World Food Programme (WFP) is expanding its assistance as levels of hunger soar after back-to-back droughts. Since the start of the year, 9 million more people have slipped into severe food insecurity across Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia, leaving 22 million people struggling to find enough food to eat. Across the Horn of Africa, the drought is expected to continue in the coming months, with a fifth poor rainy season forecast for later this year. Across the three drought-affected countries, WFP is targeting 8.5 million people across the Horn of Africa, up from 6.3 million at the start of the year. WFP is providing food and cash assistance to families and distributing fortified foods to women and young children to treat spiralling rates of malnutrition and prevent more people from slipping closer towards famine. WFP cash grants and insurance schemes are also helping families to buy food to keep livestock alive or to compensate them when their animals die. More information is available online.**SomaliaStaying in the Horn of Africa, in Somalia, the Emergency Relief Coordinator, Martin Griffiths, has released $10 million from the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) to ramp up emergency aid in the country, which is looking into the abyss after its worst drought in 40 years. Catastrophic levels of food insecurity have been declared for the first time since 2017, with 213,000 people in famine-like conditions and half the population — 7.8 million people — being acutely food insecure. The drought has displaced over one million people in Somalia since 2021, and an estimated 1.5 million children under age 5 face acute malnutrition. Humanitarians reached over 4 million people with assistance in the first half of this year, and they continue to scale up to avert the worst, supported by the additional CERF funds. With this latest funding, the Central Emergency Response Fund has allocated a total of $41 million to the drought response in Somalia this year.**ZambiaIn Zambia, our United Nations team, led by Resident Coordinator Beatrice Mutali, is bolstering efforts to support authorities to tackle multiple shocks, including the spike in costs of living, climate change and the pandemic impacts. On the health front, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has purchased 20 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines, nearly a quarter million test kits, 1 million sets of personal protective equipment and 500 cold chains and solar fridges, boosting the national vaccination campaign, alongside the team's communications efforts. Over half of the population is fully vaccinated. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also trained over 260 health workers to manage cases in isolation centres. For its part, the World Food Programme has helped 110,000 smallholder farmers recover from droughts, with training to protect degraded soil and diversify crops. We are also investing in entrepreneurship, with the International Labour Organization (ILO) training over 400 small and medium companies on safety and improved operations, while the UN Development Programme (UNDP) helped establish a fund to boost women's access to credit and further support businesses.**HaitiAnd in Haiti, Martin Griffiths has allocated $5 million from the Central Emergency Response Fund to help meet humanitarian needs caused by gang violence in Haiti. Since July, hundreds of people have been killed in clashes between gangs in Haiti's Cité Soleil. Many others have been trapped in the fighting, cutting off their access to drinking water, food and health care. Overall, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) estimates that nearly 280,000 people are affected by this situation. Funding through UNICEF and WFP will provide food, drinking water, health care and education support to more than 100,000 people. The high level of insecurity is compromising humanitarians' access to impacted people, for food or cash distributions, as well as access to basic services such as health and education for at least 1 to 1.5 million people who are trapped in gang-controlled neighbourhoods. The Haiti Humanitarian Response Plan, asking for $373 million, is currently 14 per cent funded.**EbolaWHO has published today its first guideline for Ebola virus disease therapeutics, with new strong recommendations for the use of two monoclonal antibodies. WHO calls on the global community to increase access to these lifesaving medicines. The WHO guidelines will support health care providers caring for patients with Ebola, and policymakers involved in outbreak preparedness and response. The new guidance complements clinical care guidance that outlines the optimized supportive care Ebola patients should receive, from the relevant tests to administer, to managing pain, nutrition and co-infections, and other approaches that put the patient on the best path to recovery. More information is online.**NicaraguaOscar had asked me recently about Nicaragua, and I can say that the Secretary-General is very concerned by the severe closure of democratic and civic space in Nicaragua and recent actions against civil society organizations, including those of the Catholic Church. Reports of a raid against the residence of the Catholic bishop of Matagalpa only heightens these concerns. The Secretary-General reiterates his call to the Government of Nicaragua to ensure the protection of human rights of all citizens, particularly the universal rights of peaceful assembly, and to freedoms of association, thought, conscience, and religion, and to release all people arbitrarily detained.**World Humanitarian DayToday is World Humanitarian Day. In a message, the Secretary-General notes that far from the spotlight and out of the headlines, humanitarians work around the clock to make our world a better place. Against incredible odds, and often at great personal risk, he says, they ease suffering in some of the most dangerous circumstances imaginable. The Secretary-General notes that today, the number of people who need humanitarian assistance has never been higher, because of conflicts, climate change, COVID-19, poverty, hunger and unprecedented levels of displacement. On this year's World Humanitarian Day, he says, we celebrate humanitarians everywhere. We salute their dedication and courage and pay tribute to those who lost their lives in pursuit of this noble cause. They represent the best of humanity, the Secretary-General adds. As part of the day, we just had a wreath-laying ceremony to remember our colleagues and friends killed and injured in the attack on the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad 19 years ago.

When a massive earthquake hit remote communities in Afghanistan's Khost and Paktika provinces on 21 June, UN Children's Fund staffer Veronica Houser knew it was going to be a tough assignment. So many families had been buried in rubble and mud while they slept. To highlight the work of aid workers for this year's World Humanitarian Day, here's her first-hand account of the relief effort.

The first guest, Abdinasir Ali, speaking to us from Luk in Gedeo, shares his humanitarian experience and talks about the most gratifying moment in his career when he and his colleagues established education centres for internally displaced children. We also interview Ilyas Sheikh Ahmed, working in Galgadud, who explains what support humanitarian workers need to save lives, bring hope and protect the dignity of people in distress. Each year on 19 August, on the anniversary of the bombing in Iraq that killed 22 humanitarian workers in 2003, the United Nations observes World Humanitarian Day. Humanitarian workers should not be a target, they save lives and bring hope when disasters strike. One person or one organisation cannot achieve much, but just like #ItTakesAVillage to raise a child, there are teams working all over Somalia, helping hundreds of people every day.

Have you ever had a deep voice telling you to move cities, change your job or invent something new for the world? But you don't know what to do to get out of your fears and into your heart?Well, you are not alone. My guest today, Trina Wyatt, has been there several times. She is not only our teacher today on Cracking Open about following your inner voice, but she's also mixing it with degrees, experience, and being a bold woman in business.At age 13, Trina left the teachings of the Mormon Church and her devout family to begin pursuing her own spiritual path. For the next thirty years, she explored agnosticism, atheism, meditation, yoga, and Buddhism to develop her own personal spiritual practice.And if this was not enough for one lifetime, after receiving her undergraduate degree from UCLA, followed by an MBA from NYU, Trina forged a successful business career in mainstream film and entertainment. Trina launched the Tribeca Film Festival with Robert De Niro and served as its Founding Director. Besides Tribeca Entertainment, she's also worked as a senior executive at Intrepid Pictures, which co-produced and co-financed genre films such as The Strangers, The Raven, The Cold Light of Day, and Waist Deep. Trina has also held the position of CFO at Prana Studios, and led the team that acquired Rhythm & Hues, the Oscar-winning visual effects company, worked at IMDB and Film Independent, and then relocated to Boulder, Colorado in 2014 to accept a position at Gaia TV as Chief Content Officer. During her tenure there, she and her team set a new standard for the creation and distribution of conscious media. In 2016, Trina's love of inspirational stories, her passion for using business as a force for good, and her commitment to personal growth, inspired her to create Conscious Good, a media streaming service and community platform for those committed to “being the change they wish to see in the world”.Shortly after its launch, Conscious Good established the Humanitarian Film Festival to support the UN's World Humanitarian Day, and then established the highly acclaimed Mindscape Film Festival, celebrating stories of the Mind as integral to Body and Spirit.

This episode is dedicated to humanitarians around the world on World Humanitarian Day.Melissa and Torrey Peace of Aid for Aid Workers Leadership Podcast do a podcast exchange about people-centred leadership.In this conversation they cover: The importance of empowering the people closest to the problem, as they know best how to solve those problems. This relates to high performing teams as well as to the localisation conversation. Three common limiting beliefs that hold leaders back and what to do about them:  “Leaders always have to be available.” Actually, leaders are more effective when they – and their teams – schedule and protect regular, uninterrupted time for focused work. “Leaders have to have all the answers.” On the contrary, no leader has all the answers. A coaching approach that supports individuals in solving their own problems can bring profound results to management relationships as well as partnerships.  “Setting boundaries is selfish.” In reality, saying “no” when someone asks you to do something that doesn't work for you or the organisation can protect the quality of work. It is okay to say no! Topics that are currently in demand in the aid sector from Torrey's vantage point as a coach, podcast host, teacher and blogger: Time management  Well-being How to set boundaries How to be more inclusive Decolonising aid and nationalising positions Creating cultures in which people and partners feel comfortable speaking up.  Ask for feedback and take action on that feedback. We don't have to call it feedback, as the word itself can be triggering, but consider methods from compassionate communication to connect and improve. Make the organisation's values come alive by being clear on what they are and what they look like in action and revisiting them often. With twelve years experience as a leader in international development Torrey facilitates rising and established leaders in the aid world to achieve optimal fulfillment in life and work through creative solutions that align with their organization's values as well as their own. Torrey coaches leaders and shares learning through her blog, through a podcast, and through a digital course to teach  supervisors in international development how they can coach their teams.  To learn more, check out:-       Aid for Aid Workers: https://www.aidforaidworkers.com/ -       Write to her at Torrey@aidforaidworkers.com -       Check out these Aid for Aid Workers Leadership Podcast episodes: How to Measure Trust with Partners and Communities Is Your Leadership Style Preventing Community Engagement?

In this episode, I discuss the  World Organ DayYou can find out SO MUCH more from my book Metaphysical Anatomy Volume 1, which is a step-by-step guide for identifying the psychosomatic pattern related to 679 medical conditions. These conditions can be activated by circumstances in your present life, your ancestry, conception, womb, birth trauma, childhood, or adult life. It builds on existing work from many famous authors, making it much more practical, more specific, detailed, and ultimately much more effective! This book is equally valuable for experienced alternative practitioners and those interested in self-healing.

In the lead up to World Humanitarian Day, marked annually on 19 August, climate justice advocate Mitzi Jonelle is clear that the climate crisis is a humanitarian crisis.  While most people consider the environment “a scientific problem to be fixed by the scientists”, the Filipino youth activist is determined to put an “empowering human aspect” into the climate crisis battle, involving “everyday people”.  Her optimism surrounding the ability of  youth to move the needle towards climate action is contagious – “when we unite, there is so much power there”, she told UN News's Liz Scaffidi.  Photo credit: Youth Advocates for Climate Action Philippines

The final episode of this special Solidarity Sabbath season on anti-Semitism is being released on World Humanitarian Day. The United Nations calls this day a global celebration of people helping people. There are numerous examples of humanitarians throughout history who have given so much of themselves to fight anti-Semitism or to protect the Jewish people. But not every humanitarian's contribution to the world is grand or dramatic. Sometimes, humanitarians accomplish great and lasting service to humanity through small and simple acts. This episode offers the story of one such humanitarian – a German woman, Irmela Mensah-Schramm, who has quietly taken it upon herself to remove, erase or cover up every pro-Nazi, anti-Semitic sticker, poster or graffiti that she comes across. There is no organization backing her, no funding from any government agency – just a decent, good humored, brave woman with a bucket, a scraper and an inner moral compass that we should all seek to emulate. Irmela, who is a grantee of the Lantos Foundation's Front Line Fund, exemplifies the words of Stephen Grellet, a Quaker missionary from the late 1700s, who wrote, “I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.”Front Line FundMeet the 71-year-old “Graffiti Grandma” Scrubbing Away Hate (Great Big Story)Anti-Nazi ‘Graffiti Grandma' Fined After Painting Over Nazi Tag (DW)World Humanitarian Day (United Nations)

*) Mali coup leaders promise fresh elections after Keita’s ouster Soldiers in Mali who forced President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita’s resignation say they will enable a political transition towards fresh elections. Calling themselves the National Committee for the Salvation of the People, the leaders of the military coup pledged to stabilise the country. Keita resigned and dissolved his government hours after soldiers seized him from his home. The coup follows months of anti-government protests against corruption and worsening security in the West African country. *) Democrats officially nominate Biden to take on Trump US Democrats have formally nominated Joe Biden as their presidential candidate, uniting behind his bid to defeat President Donald Trump. The second night of the Democratic National Convention featured elder statesmen and rising stars from the party as well as prominent Republicans. Biden has run for the presidency twice before and is now cemented as the embodiment of the Democrats’ desire to defeat Trump this fall. *) Hezbollah member found guilty in Hariri killing A UN-backed tribunal has found a Hezbollah member guilty of assassinating Lebanon’s former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in a truck blast in 2005. Salim Ayyash was convicted and three others accused were acquitted in absentia. The tribunal said there was no evidence that the Hezbollah leadership or Syrian government were involved in the assassination. *) US Senate exposes Trump 2016 campaign links to Russia A US Senate investigation has found that Russia launched an aggressive effort to interfere in the 2016 presidential election on behalf of Donald Trump. The Senate report says associates of the Republican candidate were in touch with the Russians throughout the campaign, eager to benefit from their help. It found that President Putin personally directed Russian efforts to hack accounts affiliated with Democrats and leak information damaging to Hillary Clinton. And finally, *) UN dedicates World Humanitarian Day to Covid-19 health workers The UN is honouring frontline health workers who risk their lives during the Covid-19 pandemic and other emergencies. It marked World Humanitarian Day by remembering 125 aid workers killed in 2019 and hundreds of others wounded or kidnapped. The UN’s Secretary General says humanitarian workers are stretched like never before.

To mark World Humanitarian Day on 19 August, ODI convenes an expert panel to discuss breaking the silence and promoting action on mental health affecting aid workers and volunteers. Humanitarian aid workers are routinely exposed to traumatic events linked to the cause of mental health issues including depression, burnout and anxiety. But increasingly, work stress including extremely heavy workloads, long hours and limited time for self-care are being highlighted as major causes. Among volunteers, mental health issues can be even higher (Dineson, 2018). Often from affected communities, volunteers experience the same loss and grief as those they are working to support but without the same training, support or structure as professional workers. At the global level, there is now increasing recognition of the importance of ensuring the well-being and safety of humanitarian workers and volunteers. However, too often the appropriate support and care systems are not in place, especially for national or local staff. A recent study found that only 20% of aid workers surveyed felt adequate psychosocial support was being offered (Dunkley, 2018). The prevailing culture of silence, feelings of guilt and perceived stigma around mental health, leads many to continue working without seeking treatment. To reduce stress, burnout and to promote the well-being of workers and volunteers, simple and cost-effective initiatives can be put in place before, during and after deployment.

On August 19th 2003 the United Nations headquarters in Iraq at the Canal Hotel in Baghdad, was hit with a truck bomb. At least 22 people lost their lives in this attack, including the UN's top official in Iraq, Sergio Vieira de Mello.  In subsequent years, August 19th has been commemorated at the United Nations as World Humanitarian Day, in which the sacrifices of humanitarian workers are honored.    This year marks the 15th anniversary of the attacks on the UN headquarters in Iraq, which ushered an era in which the United Nations, and humanitarian workers more broadly, are more and more often the targets of terrorist violence.   On the line with me to discuss the 2003 bombing and its legacy today is Ambassador Elizabeth Cousens. She knew many of the victims of this attack, having worked with the UN in the middle east. She is a former top ranking official at the US mission to the United Nations and is now the deputy CEO of the United Nations Foundation.   We kick off discussing her experiences the day of the bombing and have a broader conversation about how this terrible event forever changed how the UN operates around the world.

What are the risks health workers face when responding to crises? What needs to be done in the future to better protect them? Ahead of World Humanitarian Day and the memorial event for humanitarian aid workers at Westminster Abbey, join us to discuss how we can better address this issue.

This week is World Humanitarian Day 2017! To celebrate, we bring in Berlin-based journalist Daniela Marquardt.
