UN: Over 1,000 Aid Workers Have Been Killed in the Past 3 Years, Nearly Triple the Previous 3 Years

Tom Fletcher said the deaths reflect a collapse of protection, with 326 aid workers killed in 2025 and more than 1,010 over three years.

  • More than 1,000 humanitarian workers were killed worldwide from 2023 to 2025, nearly three times the 377 killed from 2020 to 2022, according to the U.N.
  • Over 560 aid workers died in Gaza and the West Bank during this period, with additional deaths reported in Sudan, South Sudan, Ukraine, and Congo.
  • The increase in deaths is related to conflicts, including the Israel-Hamas war starting in October 2023, and aid workers face killings, restrictions, detentions, and bans globally.
  • The U.N. Security Council adopted a 2024 resolution condemning attacks on humanitarian workers and urging member states to protect aid personnel and ensure accountability for crimes against them.
