In 2024 alone, more than 380 humanitarian workers died. Some while on duty, others at home. Hundreds of others were injured, kidnapped or kept, and there was a reason to worry about 2025 would be worse. Too often, the world closes eyes, even if these attacks violate international law. The law that the auxiliary workers must protect is ignored. Those responsible are left free. The silence and lack of liability should not be allowed to continue. This system not only disappoints humanitarian workers, but also the people who serve them. We are no longer on a crossroads, we are on the edge.
