Humanitarians are not a target! They risk their lives to help others.
3 aid workers were killed in #DRCongo while helping people affected by the ongoing conflict in North Kivu. 🚨Humanitarians are #NotATarget. They risk everything to deliver life-saving aid. This attack is not only a tragedy—it’s a violation of international humanitarian law. ⤵️
