Around 1 in 5 people in conflict-affected areas experience mental health impacts from natural disasters, armed conflict, and public health emergencies. Feeling fear, anxiety, or sadness in these situations is a normal response to highly stressful and traumatic events.
Humanitarian workers are particularly vulnerable to the psychological toll of the crises they respond to and often face prolonged, intense stress. It is therefore important for organizations to provide measures such as adequate rest, supervision, peer support, and workplace mental health programs to help protect these workers and sustain an effective humanitarian response.
