We must support, protect civilians, Aid workers – Stakeholders

From Umar Dankano, Yola

Stakeholders have advocated for more support and protection of humanitarian workers assisting civilians in conflict situations across the globe.
Making the resolution during the 2024 world humanitarian Day celebration in Yola, Adamawa state capital on Monday, the stakeholders unanimously acknowledged the dangers and sacrifice imbedded in the humanitarian services and called for doable actions to safeguard their human dignity.
In his keynote address, the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, Mohammed Malick Fall said, “it is only befitting that we all stand in solidarity with the little children whose lives are on the line, with mothers who are struggling to feed their children, with boys and girls who are missing out on a childhood because they have been forced by circumstances to take on adult roles to help their families make ends meet.
Malick Fall stressed that all hands must be on deck to assist people deprived of their dignity and human rights especially in armed conflicts zones.
