ISLAMABAD, Aug 18 (APP): Like other parts of the world, “The World Humanitarian Day” would be observed on August 19 across the country. The Day is observed every year to honor humanitarian aid workers all over the world.

Those workers who live in conflict zones or in areas devastated by natural disasters are especially vulnerable. Anyone and everyone can be a humanitarian, so read on to learn more about the day and how you can help. On 19 August, we come together to honour humanitarians around the world who strive to meet ever-growing global needs.
