UN: 350 humanitarian workers killed in international missions

In 2022, 350 humanitarian workers were killed in international missions, as reported by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). This figure underscores the increasing dangers faced by humanitarian workers in crisis areas.

In the context of the ongoing debate about the safety of these workers, the UN called for "real consequences" for violations of international law. The rising numbers illustrate that working in crisis zones is becoming increasingly perilous. So far in 2023, 82 humanitarian workers have already been killed.
