Don’t forget sacrifice and generosity in humanitarian

Humanitarians are united by a common mission: to save and protect lives. They remain unwavering in their commitment to humanitarian principles, serving those in need without expecting anything in return. Despite the inherent difficulties and dangers of their work, governments and philanthropic organizations worldwide continue to support these efforts, providing life-saving assistance to vulnerable populations.
Humanitarians work tirelessly to deliver basic necessities and protect lives, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the communities they serve. Their efforts bring hope to those in the most desperate situations. As World Humanitarian Day approaches on 19 August, it is important to come together to honour the selfless individuals who strive to meet the ever-growing global needs. No matter the dangers or hardships, these humanitarians venture into disaster-stricken regions and conflict zones, putting themselves at risk to save and protect others.
Charity organizations emphasize the importance of upholding the core principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality, and independence in humanitarian work. In Myanmar, a country with rich traditions of community and sharing, humanitarianism is deeply rooted in the culture. Acts of joyous sharing are not just acts of kindness but are seen as a responsibility for those with abundance to aid those who are less fortunate.
This year’s World Humanitarian Day theme highlights the importance of repurposing items that might otherwise go unused. When shared with those in need, these items are transformed from mere objects into tools of empowerment. The day serves as a reminder that even the smallest act of sharing can make a significant impact on the lives of others.
World Humanitarian Day is a time to pay tribute to aid workers who have sacrificed their lives and well-being in the line of duty. With over 130 million people worldwide currently in crisis due to wars, natural disasters, social issues, and various conflicts, the need for humanitarian aid is greater than ever on a yearly basis. This day not only honours the brave men and women on the frontlines but also calls for continued support for humanitarian efforts worldwide.
As such, not only relevant governments but people have to honour those serving humanitarian measures for their sacrifices without considering possible dangers for them. On the other hand, relevant governments and local authorities need to support humanitarian aid to needy people facing different plights in society. Everybody should not forget the gratitude of volunteers in serving humanitarian activities and well-wishers and relevant organizations for their contributions of humanitarian supplies to the society in need.
