United Nations Security Council, 10,131st Meeting - Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict

Описание: Amid record levels of humanitarian workers and United Nations personnel killed in armed conflict, the Security Council today explored ways to strengthen protection, with a briefer warning that their “extraordinary courage and dedication” do not shield them from bullets, drones and shelling.

Tom Fletcher, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, reported that in 2025 at least 326 humanitarian workers were killed across 21 countries, bringing the total over the past three years to more than 1,010. By comparison, 377 humanitarian workers were killed globally in the preceding three years.

This almost threefold increase “is not an accidental escalation — it is the collapse of protection,” he said, adding that of those deaths, more than 560 occurred in Gaza and the West Bank, 130 in Sudan, 60 in South Sudan and 25 each in Ukraine and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
