Urgent Call for Change
Jagan Chapagain, the secretary general of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), delivers a powerful message: no one should risk their life to access basic assistance. His statement comes amid rising challenges faced by humanitarian workers worldwide. He emphasizes the need for stronger protections for those delivering essential services, especially in conflict zones.
Chapagain’s remarks highlight the increasing dangers that aid workers encounter while trying to help vulnerable populations. He urges governments and organizations to prioritize the safety of these individuals. The IFRC aims to ensure that humanitarian efforts can proceed without the threat of violence or harm. Every person deserves access to aid without fearing for their safety, and Chapagain’s advocacy is a call to action for all stakeholders involved.
