About World Humanitarian Day

World Humanitarian Day is one of the international days on the United Nations list. The UN uses these days to draw attention to an issue and to what people around the world are doing about it.

In 2027 it falls on a Thursday; in 2028 it’s on Saturday 19 August, and in 2029 on Sunday 19 August. Also in August 2027: National Potato Day (19 Aug), World Orangutan Day (19 Aug) and National Lesbian Pride Day (19 Aug). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.
