On Wednesday, Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) took part in a solidarity event organized by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in Doha to mark World Humanitarian Day 2026. The solidarity stand brought together representatives from UN agencies, Qatari governmental bodies, and non-governmental organizations.
QRCS Acting Secretary-General Abdullah Sultan Al Qattan emphasized that any attacks or restrictions against aid providers are a clear violation of international laws and disrespect for religious teachings and moral ideals. He also mourned the loss of QRCS humanitarians who bravely saved lives.
QRCS and OCHA inaugurated a photo exhibition showcasing humanitarian actions worldwide and raising awareness of the escalating risks faced by civilians and aid workers in conflict zones. This event forms part of the larger #ActForHumanity campaign, which promotes adherence to international humanitarian law and protection of civilians, humanitarian personnel, and medical relief workers.
The goal is to ensure humanitarian aid reaches those in need without hindrance. The photo exhibition runs until August 22, displaying impactful images and visuals of real humanitarian interventions in various crises, supplemented by infographics highlighting the devastating impact of conflicts on civilians and aid workers.
