Since the beginning of this year, 62 humanitarian workers have been killed in several places around the world, and 84 others have been injured.
It should be noted that several humanitarian and relief workers were killed by armed factions affiliated with the Saudi-led coalition, the latest of which was on July 21, when the director of the World Food Program office in Taiz governorate, Muayad Hamidi, was shot dead by coalition gunmen in the city of Al-Turbah.
