Islamabad: President Dr. Arif Alvi has paid tribute to the humanitarian workers on the ground advocating for and delivering life-saving aid to the most vulnerable people affected by crisis situations.

In his message on the occasion of World Humanitarian Day on Friday, he paid a special tribute to the humanitarian workers who continue to offer life-saving support to communities affected by climate crises.

He reaffirmed the commitment to put climate justice at the core of all efforts and to take meaningful actions in this regard.

The President acknowledged the humanitarian and philanthropic spirit of Pakistanis, who always supported their brethren during natural disasters, especially during earthquakes and floods.

He said with the unprecedented increase in climate disasters faced by Pakistan recently, the vulnerable in Pakistan are more in need of humanitarian assistance and protection than ever before.

Dr Arif Alvi said disasters, as result of climate change, have increased forced displacement, high rates of malnutrition, increased mortality rates, and have adversely affected the vulnerable segments of the population economically and financially.

He said in line with this year's theme "It Takes a Village", let us pledge as a community to inspire each other through our own individual efforts and to make collective efforts to bring about change for the good of others.
