World Humanitarian Day (19 August) is an opportunity to celebrate the spirit of humanitarian work around the world. Each year, aid workers and their agencies selflessly support tens of millions of people whose lives have been torn apart by war or natural disasters.
Here are their stories.
Voices from the Field is a series of powerful films profiling humanitarian workers operating in some of the world’s longest running humanitarian crises – Afghanistan, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo.
