World Humanitarian Day PSA

I would also recommend this year-old op-ed by Samantha Power, who has since taken a job in the White House.  Key excerpt: "We cannot return to a pre-8/19 world any more than we can return to a pre-9/11 one. Neither the blue flag nor the red cross is enough to protect humanitarians in an age of terror. But five years after August 19 we owe it to those who died — and to those whom humanitarians have saved — to do far more to protect the protectors."
