It's International Day of the Midwife!

Investing in 1 million more midwives offers the single most effective way to save the lives of mothers and their newborns by extending access to antenatal care, safe childbirth and postnatal support.

[Zlatan Milišić @ZMilisic]

We urgently need US$90M to sustain refugee operations for the next 6 months. As food runs out, families are pushed into survival mechanisms.

If we don’t receive new funding immediately, we may be forced to suspend food assistance to refugees.

Hamdullah and Kulsom are husband and wife, and they work together as Hygiene Promoters. Right now, they are working in the camps in eastern #Afghanistan where people displaced by the earthquake are living.

Watch till the end to see what motivates them to keep going.

"In Afghanistan, the combined impact of displacements, returnees, climate change, disease outbreaks and economic hardships weaken the existing fragile health systems and services. Building climate resilient and well-prepared health systems and services is vital to ensure health security for all Afghans."

Alarming gap: Afghan returnees surge as funding falls dangerously short. Without urgent investment, hard-won progress will collapse—risking regional instability. We call for immediate action. #UNinAfghanistan
