The World Food Programme (WFP) Philippines is joining other organizations and agencies in the country and around the globe in celebration of World Humanitarian Day on 19 August to bring attention to the everyday heroes who risk and dedicate their lives every day to help people in need.
These humanitarian heroes are the first to respond unhesitatingly during disasters, most recently during the past three major emergencies of 2013—the Zamboanga conflict, Bohol Earthquake and Typhoon Yolanda (international name Haiyan) where WFP co-led three humanitarian clusters: Logistics, Food and Nutrition Security, and Emergency Telecommunications.
