Humanitarian workers face growing risks. Five have been killed and nine injured so far this year, with many more kidnapped. Most of those affected are national staff.

The situation is dire, with escalating violence and shrinking access to areas in need. Civilians are also at risk, and urgent action is needed to protect them. Further information on the crisis and calls for action can be found through relief organizations, which are sounding the alarm on the need for stronger protections for those affected.
