Thank you to all the humanitarians who make UNHCR’s work possible

| This World Humanitarian Day, we say thank you | | On World Humanitarian Day, 19 August, we thank humanitarians everywhere from committed supporters like you to UNHCR staff in the field who dedicate their lives to helping others. One such humanitarian is Kinyera David Jada, who knows first-hand what it’s like to flee conflict and survive on humanitarian aid. Now, he’s returned home to South Sudan with UNHCR to help rebuild his community. |
