World Humanitarian Day falls on the 19th of August each year and commemorates the death of 22 aid workers during the 2003 bombing of the Canal Hotel in Baghdad. Each year it sees people come together to celebrate the vital, lifesaving work done by humanitarians, while also remembering those who lost their lives while selflessly helping others.

In a suburb of Beirut, Caritas Lebanon hosts a women’s shelter, one of three across the country, providing a safe house and a new start for countless women. Women fleeing war, domestic violence, oppression and poverty. Women with nowhere else to go. Many are Syrian refugees and are without documents so they literally have no options.
