A Nobel is "in recognition of cultural and scientific advances". While the work they are doing is brave, selfless and courageous I'm not sure a nobel is the right award for this. Most countries have an award for valour both inside[1] and outside[2] of the military. A UN style award would be more appropriate I think. In someways a Nobel doesn't match the ultimate sacrifice for little or no personal gain that these people may well be giving.
