Overview

• The artwork by Michael Landy, commissioned by the Humanitarian Memorial Committee, features 15 green human-sized figures arranged in a circle with gaps for visitors to complete it by joining hands.
• Each figure carries a true account from people who delivered or received aid, with stories supplied by agencies including Oxfam, Save the Children and Care International.
• After his remarks, the Prince met staff from MSF, MAG, UNRWA, Islamic Relief and Norwegian People’s Aid, as well as bereaved families and survivors of targeted attacks.
• He cited crises from Ukraine and Sudan to Myanmar, Haiti and the wider Middle East, praising workers in places such as Gaza for sustaining a thread of shared humanity.
• The memorial at Gunnersbury Park honors aid workers who died in service and also celebrates those who continue to risk their lives to help others.
