Humanitarian workers are being honoured today for their efforts in assisting communities affected by crises. They often belong to the same populations they are helping, and face significant security risks. Many aid workers have been killed or wounded while providing assistance, with a notable number affected in recent years.

Aid workers' dedication is being recognised globally, and their work is crucial in reaching communities that others cannot. The risks they face are substantial, with hundreds killed or wounded in a single year. Further details on the challenges faced by humanitarian workers can be found through the Mozambique Local Humanitarian Coordination Platform's statement.
