More than 5 million 👧👦 under the age of 5 died in 2017.

This translates into 15K under-five deaths per day.

This is unacceptable. Every child deserves a long and healthy life.
It`s time for #HealthForAll

WHO estimates 27% of all child deaths now arise from environmental causes and almost 90% of the world’s children do not breathe clean air. https://t.co/TH3jP9JmnA #BreatheLife

Families in #Indonesia 🇮🇩 are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.

But people are supporting each other during this tragic time. They are sharing food, and small food stalls have opened selling noodles, fruits and vegetables.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

These displaced farmers used to own land or work in co-ops, growing crops & feeding their families.

Insecurity in N-E #Nigeria put an end to that.

We must help meet their immediate needs and support recovery of their livelihoods.

Even mild #PhysicalActivity immediately improves memory function. Light workouts can increase connection between parts of the brain responsible for #memory formation and storage. #BeActive https://t.co/FmpJp2Fwqk
