Agenzia Fides, the news agency of the Pontifical Mission Societies, warned of a “silent massacre” of humanitarian workers.
“In 2025, at least 326 humanitarian workers were killed in 21 countries, bringing the number of victims of this war against those who deliver aid to the civilian population to 1,010 in just three years,” Fides reported. “Often, death comes from the sky: airstrikes, especially in Gaza, Lebanon, and Ukraine, are the leading cause of fatalities.”
