On the occasion of World Humanitarian Day, humanitarian organizations in Juba will stand together on Friday 18 August at 2:30 p.m. to rally support for people affected by humanitarian crisis and pay tribute to the aid workers who help them. 

This year World Humanitarian Day advocates specifically for the protection of civilians and aid workers. At the “stand together” event, participants will reaffirm that civilians caught up in conflict and aid workers in South Sudan are #NotATarget, and demand action to protect them. 

After the event, senior members of the humanitarian community will be available for interviews. 

All media are invited to cover the event.
