World Humanitarian Day 2025
In brief
Every day, HALO teams work in some of the world's most fragile and forgotten places where conflict is ongoing, peace is uncertain, and danger hides in plain sight. To mark World Humanitarian Day, we're sharing the voices of HALO staff members from Yemen and Somalia. In their own words, they reflect on what it means to live and work in conflict-affected countries, what drives them to keep going, and the message they want the world to hear.
Every day, HALO works in some of the world's most fragile and forgotten places. Where conflict still rages, peace is uncertain, and danger hides in plain sight.
This World Humanitarian Day, hear directly from our colleagues in Yemen and Somalia as they share what it's like to live and work in conflict-affected countries, why they do this life-saving work, and the message they want the world to hear.
In Yemen, more than a decade of war has left the land littered with mines. Airstrikes have killed thousands, and millions face hunger. In Somalia, decades of conflict have created a deadly legacy of explosives and instability. Across both countries, HALO teams are clearing land, securing weapons, and helping communities rebuild.
Stand with those who risk everything to protect others. Watch their stories and support life-saving work in forgotten conflict zones.
