Durham MP Roberta Blackman-Woods
THIS Saturday is World Humanitarian Day, a chance to pay tribute to aid workers who risk their lives in humanitarian service and a day to remind us what more must be done.
This week’s deadly mudslides in Sierra Leone have highlighted the daily suffering experienced by millions and the immense challenges to make our planet a fairer place.
On Saturday I hope that our community, including our MP Roberta Blackman-Woods, join me in celebrating British aid workers and stand with them as they support the world’s poorest.
Stephanie Guest, Durham
