Atacurile asupra lucrătorilor umanitari au atins un nivel record în 2025, avertizează ONU

The United Nations reported a record number of humanitarian worker casualties in 2025, attributing the rise to drone warfare. The total victims increased from 833 in 2024 to 907 in 2025, despite a slight decrease in fatalities. Tom Fletcher emphasized the need for states to uphold international humanitarian law and protect civilians. Drones have become a significant threat, responsible for a large percentage of civilian deaths in conflicts like Sudan and Ukraine. Gaza was identified as the most dangerous area for humanitarian workers, with 186 fatalities. The report coincides with World Humanitarian Day, honoring those lost in the line of duty.
