联合国在2020年世界人道主义日纪念全球人道主义工作者的贡献与牺牲1。这一纪念日由联合国大会于2008年指定为每年8月19日，首次纪念于2009年8月19日1。
数据显示人道主义工作者面临日益严峻的安全威胁1。去年共发生277起攻击事件，造成483人遭攻击、125人丧生、234人受伤、124人被绑架1。与2018年相比，受害者数量增加18%1。从更长期趋势看，2010-2019年十年间的攻击事件相比2000-2009年增加117%1。自2003年以来，近5000名人道主义工作者被杀、受伤或绑架1。
攻击事件主要集中在冲突地区1。叙利亚、南苏丹、刚果民主共和国、阿富汗和中非共和国成为受影响最严重的地区1。其中马里和也门的重大攻击事件较前一年翻倍1。在新冠疫情背景下，人道主义工作者面临前所未有的挑战，包括行动限制、资源不足和安全威胁1。
The United Nations marked World Humanitarian Day on August 19, 2020, paying tribute to humanitarian workers worldwide amid escalating violence against aid personnel.1 The previous year proved the deadliest on record for humanitarian workers, with 483 people attacked across 277 incidents, resulting in 125 deaths, 234 injuries, and 124 kidnappings.1 This represented an 18% increase in victims compared to 2018.1
The humanitarian crisis extends far beyond a single year. Since 2003, nearly 5,000 humanitarian workers have been killed, wounded, or abducted, with attacks intensifying significantly over recent decades—the 2010-2019 period witnessed a 117% surge in incidents compared to the 2000-2009 decade.1 The most affected regions included Syria, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Afghanistan, and the Central African Republic, while Mali and Yemen experienced a doubling of major attack incidents from the previous year.1 Compounding these dangers, humanitarian workers faced unprecedented challenges in 2020 from the COVID-19 pandemic, including movement restrictions, resource scarcity, and heightened security risks.1
World Humanitarian Day was established by the UN General Assembly in 2008 and first commemorated on August 19, 2009.1
