Today is World Humanitarian Day, a day to celebrate aid workers and their incredible work around the globe.

From Syria to South Sudan, Yemen to Afghanistan, people are risking their lives to save the lives of others.

Just this week, another volunteer in Yemen paid the ultimate price.

Sixty-five-year-old Khalid Abdullah, a volunteer with Yemen Red Crescent for 30 years, was shot while preparing a food distribution in Taiz.

To kill someone who is helping in a place where over 80% of people need aid is just unfathomable.

We owe so much to those who continue to help in the face of such dangers.

With so many conflicts and disasters going on around the world it would be easy to be overwhelmed.

But the fact is everyone one of us has a part to play.You don’t have to volunteer in a war zone to make a difference.We owe so much to those who continue to help in the face of such dangers.
